Today we stood w/@MayorOliviaChow & tenant orgs to launch Toronto’s Rental Renovictions By-Law! Starting July 31st tenants will have a clear process for N13 cases & compensation for moving costs. Landlords can be fined up to $100k for violations. A huge win for tenant movement!

Thanks to tenants, along with Acorn, FMTA, NoDemovictions & York South-Weston Tenants Union, we finally got Rentsafe signs and reforming the broken audit system approved at council! It’s time to hold Toronto’s worst landlords accountable for their tenants’ health & safety.
When Toronto’s worst landlords neglect the health & safety of their tenants, it’s time to put a red Rentsafe sign in their window to hold them to account, warn prospective renters, and have the City take real enforcement action. Please sign our petition: joshmatlow.ca/rentsafe
Toronto apartments to get colour-coded ratings to ‘shame’ landlords of rundown buildings. The colour-coded rankings — similar to the DineSafe food safety program — will be rolled out by the end of July next year. thestar.com/news/gta/toron…
