We the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
- Reverse the recent elimination of rent control protections for new rental units.
- End Vacancy Decontrol: Landlords should not be able to increase rents to whatever amount they want when a tenant moves out.
- End Above the Guideline Increases: Repairs and maintenance are a landlord’s responsibility and they should pay for them.
- Strengthen the Residential Tenancies Act to protect tenants from reno-victions and illegal evictions.
