Do Rent Strikes Work? | The Agenda
Hit with skyrocketing housing costs and above-guideline rent increases, tenants across Toronto have launched a collective rent strike which has now entered its second month. Nearly 200 residents at 33 King Street in downtown Toronto, as well as hundreds of tenants in Thorncliffe Park and Parkdale are withholding payments in response to corporate landlords hiking rent for repairs and renovations. Rent strikes have become more common in the last few years, but are they effective? Are landlords acting in predatory ways, or are the rent increases justified? We hear from both sides about the best course of action.
