The York South-Weston Tenants Union says while the immediate goal is to get landlords to reverse course on the increases and attend to other pressing matters in their buildings, they hope their message reaches the provincial government for a long-lasting solution.
Addila Safi, a resident at one of the buildings at 1440 and 1442 Lawrence Avenue W., is one of over a hundred tenants who've decided to withhold rent payments in an act of protest against above-guideline rent increases.
"It's too much. It's not manageable. It's not easy," said Addila Safi, who lives in one of the buildings. While the immediate goal is to get landlords to reverse course on the increases and attend to pressing matters in their buildings, the longer-term goal is a lasting solution from the province, says the York South-Weston Tenants Union, which is helping to organize the strikes.These Toronto tenants are sick of above-guideline rent increases.
Two pictures from the York South-Weston Tenant Union shows Canada Post stopped delivering to residents at 1442 Lawrence Avenue W. due to health and safety concerns.Tenants at 33 King St., 22 John St., and a complex on Thorncliffe Park Drive are also on strike, citing poor maintenance and above-guideline increases.
