State of Repair: Ottawa ACORN Tenant Survey
Posted March 14, 2017 | Resource Type: Housing / Tenant Unions
This report shows that the municipal government needs to do more as tenants are living in substandard conditions without the necessary support to allow them to stand up to landlords and have their needs met. The Property Standards By-law has more procedural steps and delays than most by-laws in addition to any notice of violation being unenforceable. This is why Ottawa ACORN members want landlord licensing NOW!
