Ontario Day of Action – Full Rent Control Mobilization!
Join ACORN members across Ontario to mobilize support for FULL rent control! Full rent control means all buildings, all units and no loopholes. Ontario ACORN is demanding:
1. Rent Control on all buildings, including those built after 2018
2. Vacancy Control to stop unlimited rent increases on vacant units
3. Ban Above-Guideline-Increases in rent (AGIs) as they are just a tool for big corporate landlords to bypass rent control
Help spread awareness on the provincial government's failure to protect affordable housing - JOIN US!
