From CTVNews today:
New report reveals 'landlord playbook' on renovictions in Toronto (https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/new-report-reveals-landlord-playbook-on-renovictions-in-toronto-1.6353758)
A new report issued by a Toronto tenant advocacy group is detailing “the landlord’s playbook” on renovictions – a term used to describe the practice of evicting a tenant with the intention to renovate a unit – and providing guidance for tenants facing similar scenarios.

I support and welcome the general idea of taking a stand and sharing research etc., but it would be a lot nicer if “RenovictionsTO” had a posted *privacy policy*. Ergo don't be like these landlords and city councillors who think they are somehow exempt from common sense.
Just as an example, on their Report page (renovictionsto.com/report (https://renovictionsto.com/report)) they are asking a lot of stuff... but there isn't much of an About page or Contact information etc. No testimonials or endorsements? Just saying. :)
Related: there was a rare mention of renovictions alongside a Tory policy... er, statement by the minister last week.
