What do we do now that Bill 60 is taking effect? Do we go back home afraid about the roof over our heads? Do we go back to accepting neglectful landlords and endless rent increases?
Instead, let's take action. Let's get organized. We know we are stronger together. Join the Toronto Tenant Union at our orientation!
📆 DATE: May 2nd, 2026
🕓 TIME: 4 PM
📍 WHERE: York South-Weston Community Hub, 2575 Eglinton Ave W, Toronto ON M6M 1T3
🔗 REGISTER: https://www.tenantunion.ca/orientation
We’ll share food, get to know some of the other people who have collectively knocked 10,000 doors to fight Bill 60, and discuss how YOU can get involved in ongoing tenant organizing.
Come learn about what we can do together to build tenant power with our neighbours and force real change in Toronto!
After the orientation please stick around as we'll host a family friendly movie screening at 6 pm.

This Sunday, February 15, the tenants' union is calling on people across the island to join their closest neighbourhood branch for a day of flyering, postering, stickering, and door-knocking.
We are starting to receive yet another wave of rent increases that for many of us spells further poverty, burnout, or eviction. We will not pay for the riches of landlords. Don't let them take the city while we sleep! We need every hand on deck to organize our neighbourhoods into mass fighting organizations for our self-defence and liberation.
Where and when to join us:
in #Hochelaga: tenant circle at 12 pm; postering and flyering meet-up at 2 pm at 1800 Letourneux
in #MileEnd / #Outremont: 1 pm at 5550 Parc (YMCA du Parc)
in the #PlateauMTL / downtown: 12 pm at 3516 Parc
in #CentreSudMTL: 3 pm at métro Frontenac
in #VerdunMTL: 2 pm at métro de l'Église
on the #LigneBleue: 12 pm at métro Parc -
Our union is organizing a neighbourhood discussion in #Hochelaga on this year's #RentIncrease. The discussion will be in French, but we have a similar workshop in English coming up soon, organized by our Centre-Sud / Village tenant council (stay tuned).
The workshop in Hochelaga will be this Saturday, 12pm, at 1800 Letourneux. Childcare and food will be provided. All are welcome!
In this public meeting, we will be discussing how to start organizing with your neighbours, how to refuse increases together, and how to win negotiations with your landlord by applying pressure through collective actions for reductions in our rent increases.
Landlords and the Tribunal are not on our side. We are fighting rent increases this year that are the highest they’ve been in decades. Say, “No!” to hikes TOGETHER as neighbours. If you would like help fighting against your rent increase, don't hesitate to reach out.

Landlords in #Berkeley held a "celebration" of pandemic era eviction restrictions coming to an end.
Members of a local tenant union crashed the party and violent clashes broke out. Check out the report from TANC here.

This Saturday we will be doing a BBQ and public forum 12pm at Parc Lafontaine (Panet/Sherbrooke) to discuss the rent strike. We will be going over the "whys and hows" of this rent strike of 5,000 tenants. It would be very useful if people could boost :boostRequest::boostRequest::boostRequest: this event on the Fediverse, on other social media and in your friends-only group chats!
Check out the photos attached to the French version of this post of a few banners that have been dropped: https://social.edist.ro/@slammatu/110907410554223830
each out to us for your own banner or for helping in making one yourself! We can use as many tenants as possible hanging banners from their balcony.
In case of a strong rain forecast, we may move to 3714 Parc. We will send another email out if this is the case. Otherwise, we plan to have canopy tents and chairs at the Parc!
En solidarité!

We present here a form for Montrealers pledging to go on #RentStrike either in Fall 2023 or when we reach the requisite amount of pledges. The rent strike is against #Bill31 (#ProjetDuLoi31 or #PDL31) proposed by the #CAQ, for housing the unhoused, and against the rent increases that #Quebec landlords have been demanding of tenants.
https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/az8TFuwxk7WPseVABEzja5o8sTLqpSj8+9E9X07VFGE/
If 5,001 people fill out this pledge (that's five thousand plus one), a rent strike will be called. If 5,001 people do not fill out this pledge, then anyone who has filled it out does not need to go on rent strike. The rent strike committee will contact you for strike meetings and to let you know if 5,001 pledges to strike have been received.
