Landlords are like, "but how will I pay my mortgage if there is a rent freeze?" Perhaps by doing work at a job. But thanks for the reminder that my labor not only pays for your living, it also pays for your ownership of the very building I'm renting.

I see lots of praise for the NS government by journalists for listening to the experts at this time of crisis. No experts are telling the government to neglect people on welfare, people who rely on food banks, people incarcerated or institutionalized, facing renovictions, etc

Right now we need to practise physical distancing & stay home. What do you do if you don’t have a home? What if your housing is overcrowded? What about those facing eviction? #homelessness #classwar #COVID19 #right2housing #physicaldistancing #flattenthecurve #nomoreevictions

"...it is 'immoral' for these houses to sit empty with so many out on the streets during a public health crisis. 'If the government's not doing their job and finding solutions fast enough, ' Escudero says, 'then we need to take the steps and sometimes break their laws.' #COVID19

This is one of our major concerns. There's many examples of large corporations using disasters as "opportunities" to make more money. Lets stop rent for April 1st.

Might have been a better, more informative and well-rounded piece if they talked to tenants and not just landlords... vtdigger.org/2020/03/21/lan…

Emily Lazatin Essential projects? BC is building empty housing, for investors. Construction sites are still open cuz we've prioritized the bank accounts of devs & landlords. It's long-past time we respond to pandemics by prioritizing health, safety & well-being of residents, not profiteers.

Is this best practice for containing infection disease? We need a UNIVERSAL moratorium for all evictions: non-payment of rent, landlord use and just cause. Stop the RTB proceedings, stop the bailiff removals. #BCRentCrisis #cancelrent #evictionmoratorium @selinarobinson BC NDP

Tenants in #Parkdale raising banners along Jameson this afternoon. Amid the #COVIDー19 crisis, and seeing no sign of support from the government, working class renters are organizing in across #Toronto, making the decision to keep their rent. No of us are alone. #KeepYourRent

Tenants are hearing nothing but conjecture and fear mongering from politicians. Beyond lip service, government announcements have completely sidestepped the fact than tens of thousands won't make rent April 1. #KeepYourRent

For years working class people in #Parkdale have shown that organization at the bldg and neighbourhood levels allows us to wage struggle to improve our lives. Now threatened, we have given a lead to what is becoming a city-wide initiative of renters to #KeepYourRent April 1.
