We were told to 'work together to come to a mutually satisfying agreement.' Turns out, tenants who worked w their landlords and signed repayment plans may be 1st on the chopping block for eviction if they are even 1 day late or 1 dollar short. #Bill184

If FRPO is sure that landlords will forgive rent (lol), they should support calls for rent forgiveness
Federation of Rental Housing Providers says there is "no doubt" landlords will forgive rent payments.
Which of your members will forgive rent, @FRPOFACTS?
Ranee, MetCap, Timbercreek, Starlight, CAPREIT: all FRPO members stonewalling their tenants.

#Bill184 "has to do with COVID-19, specifically to deal with rent arrears that have built up through the pandemic. This is a direct target against working class people who have lost jobs, lost hours, and gotten sick.” @squashhawley #NoCovidEvictions

"There is absolutely no justification for making oversight of landlord/tenant relations less equitable, especially when the weaker of the two parties comes out on the losing end, as will be the case with #Bill184." #HamOnt #noCOVIDevictions
OPINION: Why? Why erode protections for renters, many of whom have already been badly hurt by the pandemic?

@fordnation Having been directly duped by a mercenary landlord, #bill184 incentivises landlords to behave badly. Expect ⬆️ homelessness. When did homes stop being homes and became profit driven corps? Imo, landlords put in the bare min. $ for max. $ at the expense of ppls lives.

Bill 184 contains several landlord-friendly provisions and is being pushed through by the Ford govt and landlord lobby during the pandemic, threatening to unleash a wave of mass evictions. Thank you to the Hamilton Spectator for publishing this and helping to spread the word:
"Tenants can work to defend each other against evictions by putting collective pressure on landlords and sheriffs to stand down. Whether #Bill184 passes in the legislature, we must not allow it to be implemented in our neighbourhoods."

”Don’t harass families.” Doug Ford says politicians’ homes are off limits — but why isn't this luxury afforded to racialized, working class people? How come our homes are up for grabs while landlords have free reign to harass and displace our families? 🤔 #Bill184
"working-class and racialized people—often living in dense apartment block neighbourhoods and working in front line health care or service jobs—have been hardest hit by #COVID19. These are the same people who will be targeted for evictions by #Bill184."

In the same week #Bill184 is expected to pass, introducing new fast-tracked eviction processes, the Ontario Superior Court signals eviction suspension will be lifted in time for AUG 1. Politicians + courts working together in service of landlords. Eviction crisis mere weeks away.

Tenants in Ottawa gathered at the LTB office today and sent a strong message. No evictions. No Bill 184. Eviction against us and our neighbours? We’ll shut it down.
