People living in precarious housing are more vulnerable to serious incidents related to fire. TY @CBCNews for highlighting this story. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Great to see Toronto City Council passing a fleet of amendments to tighten Toronto's short-term rental rules. Thank you @gordperks, @oliviachow and everyone who did the heavy lifting on this. cc/@Fairbnbcanada #TOpoli #Airbnb thestar.com/news/gta/toron…
There it is. Let's remember, evictions are traumatic, can ruin lives and can easily result in homelessness - especially when there's nowhere affordable to go. So, why do govts entrust solving the housing crisis to an industry that is helping to create it?

@StatCan_eng has just released a new report on evictions in Canada, which shows that #evictions are on the rise. Mirroring BSH research, evictions for sale, landlord-use or renovation are now the top reason for eviction, not non-payment of rent. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…
In 2022, 20 big landlords applied for >1/2 the Above Guideline rent Increases in Ontario. "AGIs are a common way to pressure longtime tenants to leave, allowing landlords to raise the rent to market rates for new tenants." We need stronger rent controls. cbc.ca/news/investiga…
AGIs are essentially a legal way for corporate landlords to flout existing rent control guidelines, all for the sake of their own profits. It's a mechanism to demand 5%, even 10% more from their renters, often without doing a thing. cbc.ca/news/investiga…
Thank you to the Livmore High Park Tenants for inviting ACTO to yesterday's All Tenants' Meeting. It was very inspiring to discuss tenant rights and advocacy strategies with so many passionate and community-oriented tenants. #TenantUnions
