Tenants at 2000 Sheppard West held a successful speakout to protest unfinished repairs, health and safety concerns. A demand letter to the Landlord was delivered. The fight will continue for safe and healthy homes. Add your voice with our online action: buff.ly/MPkdQq2

As heatwaves hit record numbers tenants are paying the price. ACORN is calling for max temp protections, retrofit funding tied to anti-eviction rules, and urgent action to keep homes safe. We don’t have time to wait. Tenants are trapped in 30°C apartments buff.ly/zZUCf96

TTCriders is shocked that #TTC is ending free Wi-Fi, with so many questions about the true cost of keeping the service still unanswered.
Orgs like @TorontoACORN are demanding Wi-Fi funding in the 2025 City Budget. We'll keep pushing for answers. 🧵

“I have worked with housing advocates” - a man who’s been ignoring tenants from @DawesTenantsTO who’ve been trying to meet with him for months.
Brad, if you want to work with housing advocates, just email us to meet with our members!

Toronto’s Planning & Housing Committee passed the anti-renoviction bylaw! @TorontoACORN members spoke out against predatory landlords using renovictions to displace tenants for profit. Now, they are working on the final step to urge City Council and the Mayor to pass this bylaw

The renovictions bylaw just passed Toronto's Planning & Housing Committee! 🎉 Our staff have been advocating for and working on this bylaw since 2019. We hope we never have to help another tenant fight a renoviction again. Thank you @PaulaFletcherTO @TorontoACORN @TorontoTenants

$200 might help a low-income family cover half of one (1) grocery bill after their rent gets hiked above the guideline! Gee, thanks Doug! 🙃
24 Oct 2024
Same Doug. Same old bag of tricks.
You know an election is around the corner when @fordnationdougford tries 2 bribe voters with checks in the mail 💸
$200 won't fix Ontario's cost of living crisis or make #housing more affordable.
But full rent control would. #onpoli

📢 Great news! Today, city staff released their recommendations for Council to approve a renovictions by-law.
This is a big step forward for Toronto. I’ve worked hard alongside tenants & housing advocates to bring forward this by-law to protect renters & our existing affordable housing supply.

500 Dawes Rd is an unsafe building.
@cityoftoronto does not have a plan to remedy the situation, and @BradMBradford has only attended during campaign visits.
If 650 Parliament or 77 Howard are reliable precedent, the City won't act until it's too late.

The tenants of 500 Dawes Road are still waiting for @cityoftoronto , MLS, RentSafe, TOBuilding, @BradMBradford @CarletonGrant , and a lot of others, to do something about 500 Dawes Road.
Assurances without action is not enough.
Our Building is not safe.

It’s right to be embarrassed about profiting from people’s need to have a roof over their head. Nobody is forcing you to do it.

‘I’m a 27-year-old landlord and I don’t want my friends to know’
Young landlords may feel embarrassed about owning property, as many of their friends have issues with renting

500 Dawes Rd Update:
A nearly 7 storey high pile of Garbage in our chute this morning.
When will @BradMBradford @CarletonGrant @cityoftoronto do something about the 86 property standards violations at 500 Dawes Road?
Less Talk. More Action.

Hundred of residents in your ward continue to be ignored; living in poorly maintained and unsafe apartment towers, whilst you prioritize dismantling the Vacant Home Tax.
Petitions, emails, phone calls have all gone unanswered.
Direct your attn here (500 Dawes) @BradMBradford 👇
