We are one week away from Toronto's municipal elections day. What are organized tenants demanding when Toronto is at crossroads? Who are bringing tenant power to the fight towards the city hall? comment your thoughts below @TorontoTenants @TorontoACORN #housing #Tenant #Toronto
When the housing discourse is perpectually torn between business "vibes" and corporate "providers", who's speaking on behalf of existing tenants being priced out and future tenants being gauged? @leilanifarha points out the "missing middle" is actually just the missing government
Once built, the 60-unit tower will be the only one on the strip. Locals say it will kill the area’s vibe. thestar.com/real-estate/toro…

Julie, a Lake Promenade resident in Etobicoke and TTU member, shares a recap of their tenant association’s recent victory at the Ontario Land Tribunal, where they were able to block the demolition and removal and displacement of so many long-term residents from their homes.

75 SPENCER RENT STRIKE VICTORY: RENT INCREASE CANCELLED
Our neighbours at 75 Spencer are celebrating a rent strike victory. Metcap has conceded to tenants’ demand and withdrawn the above guideline rent increase (AGI)
Last year, Ford passed Bill 60 despite tenant resistance. Bill 60 came into effect on Monday.
This is how Ford & his landlord buddies made the LTB WORSE for tenants
Landlords love eviction b/c it helps them get around rent control. Bill 60 turns the LTB into an EVICTION MACHINE
🎉Time to celebrate! 🎉
Here are our four biggest wins in as many months 👇
And we’re just getting started!
And governments continue to throw money, land and the narrative to this industry.
We can't get out of the situation we are in by bailing out the people who created the problem in the first place. – at Westmount, Québec
To no one's surprise, rents for working class tenants are not going down with the increase in supply. There is no "filtering".
@CMHC_ca will continue to parrot the supply arguments, while working class tenants will continue to face displacement from our homes – at Vaughan, Ontario
Two studies point to higher vacancy rates in newer, luxury buildings, with one pointing to ‘limited downward filtering of new supply.’ thestar.com/real-estate/why-…
To every government that is giving handouts to developers as their "housing policy", without talking about rent control, vacancy control and public housing, this story should be a warning sign. The corporations that created this situation will not get us out of it. – at Vaughan, Ontario
And to every tenant facing higher rents and the threat of displacement, time to get organized

Bruno Dobrusin from the @tenantsunionto shares an insightful reading list on how to assert our rights “as we fight landlords, developers, and the political system that props them up.”

Tenants at the Lakeshore Promenade scored a huge victory—stopping a demoviction in its tracks.
Working w/ @nodemovictions & community partners, they organized to beat their landlord
While demovictions are on the rise, this shows the power of organizing to defend affordable units!
Nearly 1 in 2 Torontonians is a tenant, but you wouldn't know that from looking at City Council. No wonder, then, that our needs are often an afterthought.
Landlords have money, but we have the numbers. Tenants must unite to get change.
It's time to join your union.
Great reporting by @thenarwhalca on how heatwaves and the climate crisis are affecting working class tenants in Toronto – at Vaughan, Ontario
El Niño is putting pressure on neighbourhoods that lack green space and residents that lack air conditioning, creating unequal access to places to stay cool thenarwhal.ca/ontario-toront…
This isn't surprising: without vacancy control - where rent control doesn't reset with a new tenant - landlords are incentivized to evict tenants to make more money.
Better transit access does not need to mean eviction & gentrification. Only tenant power can stop this.
A study of five communities near new UP, Finch West or Eglinton LRT stops found four saw higher eviction rates between 2010 and 2023 than the citywide figure. thestar.com/news/gta/evictio…
Here is an example of the Carney bailout to developers.
Federal funding going to a developer that is carrying out a demoviction of truly affordable rents in the downtown core – at Vaughan, Ontario
Toronto tenants say federal cash is going to developer who plans to demolish their homes trib.al/MOhaLkC
