As we mark a year on rent strike, @JoannaLavoie spoke with us about our ongoing fight against Starlight and PSP’s rent hikes. “If they raise up the rent how many more of my people are going to have to go to the food bank? It’s already really bad.” cp24.com/mobile/news/a-…
MY LATEST: A group of Thorncliffe Park tenants have been on a rent strike for a year and say there's no resolution in sight cp24.com/news/a-group-o…… @tparktenants
A group of Thorncliffe Park tenants have been on a rent strike for a year and say there's no resolution in sight toronto.ctvnews.ca/a-group-of-tho…
Tenants of 71, 75, and 79 Thorncliffe Park rallied yesterday to mark one on rent strike in protest of above guideline rent increases we can’t afford. We will continue our fight until Starlight and PSP Investments withdraw the above guideline rent increases at our buildings.
Ontario landlords' association says above guideline increases "preserve" affordable units. Tenants say rents are already unaffordable, a 10% increase is unbearable, and PSP and Starlight systematically neglect in-unit repairs to increase displacement pressure on tenants.

PSP Investments and its partner Starlight continue to seek rent hikes totalling almost 10% over 2 years in Thorncliffe Park and are pursuing the eviction of hundreds of people protesting their above guideline rent increases

One year into our rent strike, our fight against Starlight and PSP Investments’ rent hikes continues. "For us, we're barely even able to afford rent. What we need is … for the landlord to withdraw the above guideline rent increases,” said Sameer Beyan. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
This weekend, the rent striking tenants at Toronto's Thorncliffe Park will be marking one full year since they began withholding rent. I talked to them back in January, and not much has changed since: tvo.org/article/hundre…

We are holding a rally on Sunday at 2:30pm at 79 Thorncliffe Park Drive. Join tenants of 71, 75, and 79 Thorncliffe Park in support as we mark one year on rent strike and continue our fight against above guideline rent increases being sought by Starlight and PSP Investments!
BTW their “relocation assistance” is a spreadsheet with online listings - all way out of reach for us. We are low-income households in rent-controlled units. This is why they want us out. But there’s no relocating us. We’re not moving cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Tenants at 71, 75, and 79 Thorncliffe Park have been on rent strike since May 2023 in protest of above guideline rent increases we can't afford. Join us Sunday April 28 at 2:30pm as we mark one year on rent strike and call on Starlight and PSP Investments to drop the rent hikes!

The federal government's "renters’ bill of rights" claims to correct imbalances in an otherwise balanced landlord-tenant relationship, thus making ongoing evictions appear to be normal and acceptable. parkdalelegal.org/news/whats-beh…
Saturday March 30, 2024 - BBT was tabling on our block and agents of the landlord showed up and started tearing down our posters from the vacant commercial spaces. We began filming and were immediately assaulted by Rowland Gordon of Smart Living Properties.
This organized group of tenants in Ottawa recently delivered a demand letter to their landlord, Tamer Abaza’s company Smart Living Properties. These tenants are doing what it takes to keep their homes.

Yesterday, rent strikers from Thorncliffe Park flyered at an open house for PSP Investments’ Downsview Airport project, where @InvestPSP operates under the name Northcrest Developments. Tenants shared news of our fight against PSP Investments’ above guideline rent increases.
“It’s about landlords trying to keep pace with the market.” Interesting way for the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario to describe landlords evicting people in order to bring in new tenants at higher rents
N12 notices are on the rise, but many landlords are handing out these notices in bad faith & in violation of Ontario law. "These properties are investment properties. It’s about landlords trying to keep pace with the market," says @dougkwanACTO theglobeandmail.com/investing/pers…
It is unacceptable that the Landlord and Tenant Board granted the request to fast-track the hearings and has moved to break our rent strike. We call on the LTB to reverse its decision.
PSP Investments' and Starlight's request was filled with false claims and baseless allegations. The landlords portrayed tenants as an "angry mob" spurred by "hateful rhetoric." We are not surprised that there was no evidence to support their claims.
We finally received the "evidence" our landlords sent to the LTB to support their request to fast-track the AGI hearings for our buildings: 1. a social media post from 2021 by an unrelated tenant group 2. a photo of a dozen tenants holding a banner following a letter delivery
“We feel that our landlords and the LTB are trying to break this rent strike” Read about the LTB fast-tracking the AGI hearings for our buildings in @TheHoserMedia: thehoser.ca/posts/ltb-side…
Good article by @ferjourno that accurately depicts working-class organization as a precondition of successfully defeating evictions at the Landlord and Tenant Board. mediacoop.ca/node/119165
BREAKING: The Landlord and Tenant Board has fast-tracked the hearings for PSP Investments’ and Starlight Investments’ above guideline rent increase applications, at the landlords’ request. The LTB has moved to break the Thorncliffe Park rent strike. Our full statement:
Three tenants above a storefront have been fighting renoviction for over a year. In that time, the landlord has issued 5 different eviction notices (2 for landlord's own use, 2 for renovations, 1 for storing winter tires) without once filing with the LTB.
Our report on renovictions in Toronto, co-authored by @colefwebber, is now available at renovictionsto.com/reports The report analyzes the conditions that give rise to renoviction, how landlords go about renovicting tenants and how tenants have organized in response to renoviction.
Okay, I've made enough snarky comments about the greenbelt shit today - this is the *actual* frontline in the fight over the future of housing in Ontario, and the real heroes just won a big victory.
BREAKING: After a year-long campaign against renoviction by tenants at 1570 Lawrence Avenue West, Lankin Investments' (formerly Pulis Investments) eviction applications have been dismissed by the Landlord and Tenant Board.
