Safe and Affordable Housing Now

The Ontario NDP Party has a Petition asking that the government implement several things that would help tenants' rights enormously:

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.
