Toronto Star: ‘We’re all just so fed up’: Toronto tenants already suffering from the heat because of city bylaw
Posted May 19, 2021
Toronto ACORN was founded in 2004, with the first organized group in Canada being formed in Weston / Mt Dennis after tenants took their slum-lord to task and won $250,000 in rent abatements. In the next ten years Toronto ACORN spread to every part of the city leading the fight and winning significant victories including raising the minimum wage; strengthening of the enforcement of apartment building standards; regulating the payday loan industry in Canada; and countless improvements in our neighbourhoods. In the next year we plan to fight for a new Residential Tenancy Act; to turn up the heat on predatory lenders that sell consolidation loans; to continue our fight to get the city of Toronto to license all landlords in the city; and to keep the pressure on to close the digital divide.
Toronto ACORN has local meetings in your neighbourhood and they are always open for new people to get involved. Join Toronto ACORN now!

A deadly pandemic takes over and millions of lives are lost. You moved to Toronto from Saskatchewan in 2008. It’s a struggle to make ends meet, particularly now, and especially when your landlord will stop at nothing to get you out.
