“Neither a neutral arbiter nor an open, institutional terrain of contestation between landlords and tenants, the capitalist state is instead the political form of a class-antagonistic society in which rent organizes, and immiserates, urban life.”

[Dave @dsherwoodb]

“[T]he LTB established with the case of [795 College] that it has no authority to reinstate a renovicted tenant who wishes to return to their unit once the landlord has rerented [it]. In light of this[…], why should tenants consider its authority to evict them to be legitimate?”

My book on renovictions, co-authored with Philip Zigman, is now available for pre-order

[Dave @dsherwoodb]

Not quite done yet, but it’s impressive how much valuable information is packed into this small book, all laid out in logical progression in easy to understand language, bogged down neither in legalese nor left-speak. It begs to and should be translated & distributed widely
