And there you have it folks — Starbucks officially offered the Memphis 7 their jobs back.

Last month, after Janice Walker’s mom died, her landlord, Myriad Property Mgmt., told Janice she had 30 days to get out. A rep said it was “company policy.” Then they pressured her for money she doesn’t have. Janice is fighting to stay in her home with the help of her neighbours.

Do you really want Lupen's rent to go up by 12%?!

Very Proud of these tenants today. Negotiation is two way street - and that starts today with GWL! Plus bonus picture of a cute pup.

“Smaller units in demand across GTA” Correction: *Affordable housing* is in demand. Remember: People are forced to compete to live in increasingly smaller spaces out of desperation, not desire. The “demand” is for affordable housing, not smaller units. reminetwork.com/articles/small…

Had a fantastic community BBQ today! Over 100 people enjoyed hot dogs, cupcakes, and raffle prizes 😀

Alberta: That stung, we know. Lesson learned: Political parties are NOT the answer.

The electrician murdered by his landlord in Hamilton, along with his partner, was an IBEW electrician, a 5th term apprentice. As an @ibew353 members and IBEW CCO we should mourn our fallen brother. Are there any initiatives to support their families? canada.constructconnect.com/dcn/news/labou…

Thank you to our friends Toronto DSC 🌹 who have been helping us literally since Day 1. Stronger together 💪

I stand with my neighbours because no one should be priced out of their home. At the end of my lease I was offered an 11% rent increase if I continued month-to-month or a 7% increase if I signed for another year or more. That is UNAFFORDABLE. Livmore High Park Tenants #RedFlagsForRenters

When you’re paying hundreds to go to the NDP Convention in October this year remember: Your leader is a landlord. He bought a second home in this housing crisis he speaks of to make even more income off another family. While collecting a housing allowance.

Another neighbour explains how skyrocketing rent impacts them. Within 24 hours, GWL Realty Advisors management instructed security to remove the poster from their door. They'd rather try to silence tenants than help them. #redflagsforrenters

Our tenants have had enough! Great coverage by CBC about our fight for fair rent. GWL Realty Advisors #RedFlagsForRenters 🚩 cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Full solidarity with Livmore High Park Tenants as they organize against excessive rent increases. Like #22John, their building is not rent controlled & like Dream, GWL Realty Advisors is refusing to recognize their tenant association. But 1000s of Toronto tenants are rising up!💪✊🏼 cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

1442 Lawrence W: Attempted tenant eviction despite lack of notice. Despite agreement to pay. This is in a building where the landlord let a bedbug infestation get SO BAD that Canada Post stopped delivering there. SHAME on her landlord. YSW Tenant Union standing STRONG 💪
