The landlord lobby using the murder of two tenants by their landlord for bringing up safety concerns in their apartment to make it easier to evict people is one of the most sadistic things I have ever seen and speaks to the absolute heartlessness of the industry.
Oh and btw the Landlord Tenant never favored tenants, it works as it always has in the benefit of the property-owning class. The reason for this murder had nothing to do with it. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@SamHersh01 The legislation already allows the board to fasttrack cases where there is a risk to health or safety. The problem is Ford let the system deteriorate by not appointing adjudicators after many positions came to the end of term. Denying access to vulnerable people is not an answer
@SamHersh01 Seems on par for Ford's Ontario. I was hoping it would trigger some gun ownership and storage discussion but that's too utopian.
@SamHersh01 Two YOUNG tenants wiped out and for what?? Landlords take a victory lap. It's all so bloody sick.
@SamHersh01 My stairs still aren't safe after I slipped off them and broke my ankle. But, since I have a social worker, I'm not allowed to withhold rent until they're properly fixed. Hell the fire escape landings are falling apart and warped to shit.
