Tenant rights group calls for greater protection against dangerous heat

With summer heatwaves on the way, tenant advocacy group London ACORN held a rally outside city hall. About 20 members called on City Council to better protect vulnerable Londoners from unsafe temperatures inside their apartments. ACORN Canada recently surveyed 750 tenants across the country about summer heat and related building maintenance. It found that 44 per cent of the low and moderate-income respondents lack access to air conditioning. The cost of energy was the most common reason.
