As advocates laud Toronto's new renoviction by-law, tenants like Virlene and her neighbours at 2866 Keele are fighting a renoviction attempt by their landlord, Lingyan Lu

TODAY: Support tenants at 2866 Keele facing renoviction. Join in calling and emailing their landlord Lingyan Lu to demand she withdraw the N13 eviction notices and do the roof and ceiling repairs while tenants remain in their homes.

After @bbtenants spent two years fighting for their homes, LTB adjudicator Robert Patchett lays down his punishment by issuing them eviction orders with 3 weeks notice.

[Thorncliffe Park Tenants @tparktenants]

From Sunday to Tuesday there were recurring power outages at 71 Thorncliffe Park. Tenants could not cool our apartments during the heat wave. Today, the power is shut down for a previously planned outage.

These issues didn’t exist before Starlight and PSP Investments took over.

[Thorncliffe Park Tenants @tparktenants]

Tenants of 71, 75, and 79 Thorncliffe Park disrupted the Canadian Club’s Annual Outlook today, where Starlight Investments executive Dennis Mitchell was speaking.

Our rent strike in protest of above guideline rent increases being sought by Starlight and PSP Investments continues

[Josh Hawley @squashhawley]

Co-founder and CEO of Smart Living Tamer Abaza has remained hidden from BBT for 2 years. So they went to house, but he continued to hide and refused to answer his door.
Why can’t he face them?

[Cole Webber @colefwebber]

Two weeks ago rent strikers confronted PSP CEO Orida in Ottawa, on Saturday they helped open her gala event in Montreal

[Cole Webber @colefwebber]

I spoke to CBC about the rise in landlords' legal threats and actions against tenants to undermine tenant organizing

With the city's proposed renovictions bylaw getting so much attention and people taking victory laps, we wanted to share some reflections on renovictions in Toronto and the bylaw. 🧵

[Thorncliffe Park Tenants @tparktenants]

Rent strikers from Thorncliffe Park travelled to Ottawa to crash PSP Investments’ meeting with the federal pension advisory committees this morning.

We confronted PSP’s President and CEO Deborah Orida and demanded she drop the above guideline rent increases at our buildings.

[Dave @dsherwoodb]

Rather than build and maintain housing directly, governments prefer to subsidize non-profits, who then in turn subsidize private landlords. Landlords can make good reliable income by clearing buildings of low-rent private tenants and replacing them with non-profit clients. 🧵

If they still gave out the annual Golden Cockroach award here in Parkdale, I feel like Bregman / Golden Equity would be serious contenders. 🪳

🎵Tale as old as time...🎶 Golden Equity doesn't like to pay its bills....

[Golden Equity Tenants @moldenequity]

A very heartfelt and sincere happy belated birthday to our landlord Michael Bregman. Happy birthday Mikey! We hope all your hopes and wishes come true. Also, can you pay @Enbridge bill so we have heat this winter? Thanks.

[RenovictionsTO @renovictions]

This week Toronto city council is set to pave the way for @InvestPSP's Downsview development while PSP continues to seek big rent hikes in Thorncliffe Park. It's a good example of how the city and advocacy orgs side with landlords who drive up rents, and against tenants. 🧵

[Cole Webber @colefwebber]

Thorncliffe Park rent strikers blocked Ontario Housing Minister Paul Calandra's entry to the parking garage of the Hyatt hotel where he was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Canadian landlord association's conference today. Their landlord, Starlight, is a member.

[RenovictionsTO @renovictions]

Thorncliffe Park tenants on rent strike in opposition to above guideline rent increases protested at this landlord conference yesterday.

Toronto’s “affordable housing advocates” attend alongside landlords.

[Parkdale Organize @ParkdaleOrg]

In Aug. 2023, Joshua Morrison, owner of Morrison Plumbing & Mechanical Ltd., bought the 10-unit building at 164 Close Ave. in Parkdale.

Tenants received lawyer’s letters urging them to take buyouts. Five of the tenants refused to move out.
