\n ๐ WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON WITH THE RE
NTAL REGISTRY?

HRM's Rental Registry. But registering buildings
isn't enough. We'll break down what's missing from

\n ๐๏ธ HRM COUN
CILLORS WILL BE INVITED
\n We're inviting Cit
y Councillors to come hear directly about the prob
lems renters are facing and what ACORN is demandin
g from the city.
\n ๐ฃ BRING YOUR VOICE AND YO
UR EXPERIENCE
\n Whether you've been fighting
your landlord over repairs\, dealing with pests\,
watching problems get ignored\, or simply wonderi
ng why renters have so little power when things go
wrongโwe want you in the room.
\n This is ab
out more than one bad building or one bad landlord
.
\n It's about tenants across H
RM having safe\, healthy\, properly maintained hom
es\, and whether our city is willing to hold landl
ords accountable to make that happen.
\n ACORN has already organized to win the Re
ntal Registry. We've put rotten rental conditions
in the spotlight through our Rotten Rentals campai
gn. Now we're organizing to make sure the Rental R
egistry actually works.
\n We're inviting ALL
tenants across the region to join the forum and h
ave your voice heard!
