“Over the last decade, Ontario’s rent control guideline has allowed landlords to increase rents by 16.5 per cent,” said Tranjan. “Over that time, average rents have actually increased by 54.5 per cent.” Diana Zlomislic for Toronto Star

Tenants are in crisis now, which means we need action now. If there was ever any doubt, YSW Tenant Union has proven that tenant organizing gets results.

Powerful days in Barcelona for the International Tenants' Meeting organized by Sindicat de Llogateres i Llogaters; discussing organizing strategies, rent strikes, and coordinating international solidarity to fight corporate landlords

Solidarity with tenants fighting landlords everywhere ✊️✊️

“More battles like Carol’s will need to be fought & won if Toronto is to become a liveable city. But grounds for optimism can be found in the resolute solidarity shown towards Carol by her neighbours, & by the activists that heeded YSWTU calls for support. Victories are possible”

NEW: Marcel Nelson (Marcel Nelson) on YSW Tenant Union's successful tenant organizing in a brutal rental market.

Dream is evicting Alex and his family after more than doubling his “affordable rent” to $3000

Corporate greed on public land is unacceptable & we’re fighting back

We need YOU to call Dream CEO Michael Cooper (416-365-5145 & 416-365-3535) & say:

Let Alex & his family stay!

Thanks to Sharlene Henry and YSW Tenant Union for helping us shine a light on landlord-tenant issues in Ontario. Constantina Varlokostas

Some renters across the GTA are nearing the one-year mark on their rent strikes. At issue are above guideline increases. We talk talked to tenants about why they continue to fight. YSW Tenant Union

Right here. This is why we need real affordable and publicly owned housing instead of handing over land to developers. It's why I have opposed the John Tory plan to give land to developers in return for a few semi-affordable units from day one.

Make the call to Dream today! Alex and his family deserve to stay in their home. Let’s keep building a strong community💪🏽✊🏽💪🏽
