York-South Weston Tenants Union is holding a call at 8PM about organizing as a response to Ford's threat. I'm going to join before work. I've been working in York-South Weston recently so it feels serendipitous.

If you aren't part of a #TenantsUnion in #Ontario and there isn't one operating in your area, you can start one! It starts with talking to your neighbours. Start now, while everyone is happy to talk about the #BlueJays
News is out about Ford's threat to take away #TenantRights from renters in #Ontario, by ending indefinite leasing. The legislation hasn't been tabled, so I plan to take the threat seriously by engaging with my neighbours about joining a #TenantsUnion.
Still, Ford may be looking to distract from his current batch of heinous legislation that he hoped he could hide behind speed cameras. Not to mention Trump's tariffs stranding all the investments #Canada and Ontario have made in car manufacturing.
Does anyone have a good place to go for #seattle tenant rights? The water heater in our building exploded on Thursday and not including the two who moved out immediately because their apartments walls were washed away theres like 8 people who want to start a #riot #mutualAid #tenantsUnion

EDIT: Landlord responded by kicking us out (refusing to renew the lease even after having already offered to renew it). So be careful if you try this at home.
Gonna send this email to landlord, please copy, adjust and send to yours as well:
Hello,
I am writing to make some ground rules known, to be followed from here on out.
I will not be taking phone or voicecalls, as you have made it clear that I need everything in writing. You have not kept your word in the past. I expect that to change.
I will not be answering the same questions over and over again. If I have gone to the trouble of informing you of issues or even provided pictures and videos, I expect you to refer back to my email or text before asking me to provide the same information again. You can ask for clarifications if needed.
Unless specified otherwise, I give permission for you to share the information I have given you whith the relevant people needed to adress the issue, for example repair people, contractors, plumbers, chimney sweep. In fact you need to let them know what their tasks will be and make sure they come prepared, equipped and with enough human power and time to safely complete the necessary tasks.
I am not your slave driver. If a contractor arrives again unprepared and underequipped for the work at hand, I will not ask them to endanger their health by doing the task anyway.
You need to give me a reasonable amount of time to answer your questions before restating them. If a matter is not urgent, I may take a full work day to respond. If the matter is trivial, I may take two weeks. If I cannot give an answer yet, I will wait until I can actually answer your question (for example: "Was the problem fixed?" can only be answered after the contractor has had time to fix it).
I am willing to keep you up to date on the issues with the property, but you also need to fulfil your duties as owner and landlord. I am not going to go out of my way to do your work for you.
I also need you to give me the relevant information I need in order to fulfill my own duties as tenant. It would have been useful to get the contact information or at least company names of the usual services (trash collection, septic tank emptying, chimney sweep). I did ask about these upon moving in.
- [same name as on lease]

New to organising or want a refresher?
RAHU is running two Organising Training sessions on Saturday the 14th of December 2024. Twice in one night to make sure comrades across multiple time zones can make it!
Link is under ‘upcoming events’ in our bio
We will be speaking from a tenant union perspective, however most of it can be used across many spaces.
Organising is the key to change, and there’s a lot to get to, so let’s go!
