Do you #rent in #Ontario? Consider helping #ACORN tenants' union by filling out their rental map. From them: "A rental registry means more transparency for renters and better #housing data to protect affordable housing, inform stronger policies, and enforce existing protections for #tenants facing #renoviction or major rent increases."

It takes 30 seconds to practice #solidarity, which imo is hella rad.

Recently renovated "luxury apartments" in Putnam contain lead and mold, and its management evades its tenants and the press. Another certified slumlord ripping of Connecticut residents who have been slammed by a brutal housing market, and lack serious protections. The building's tenant union is fighting back, and residents have been on a rent strike for months.

A reminder of the demonstration occurring at 5:30pm eastern time today.

Text from the instagram link below:

"🚨Homelesss Encampment EVICTION🚨 The Montreal Autonomous Tenants' Union is calling for a public demonstration this Monday, 5:30pm, outside Atwater metro station (Cabot Square). We have received word from a union member living within the encampment under the Ville-Marie Expressway that an eviction is planned for the first week of March. True or not, we are asking for the permanent cancellation of this "postponed" eviction, and arrangements for good housing for encampment residents. Share widely and bring out your networks.

These evictions are not solutions to homelessness and do not improve the lives of people who are homeless. Homelessness is caused by our broken shelter system, the predatory rents and evictions of landlords, and the modern austerity politics of capitalist governments who underfund and mismanage mental health, social, and housing services.

Some members of the encampment have been living there for over five years. After our union helped to push back the last eviction, members of the encampment were promised good housing by the government. From what we can tell, this ended up being only talk and PR.

The housing crisis affects us all! Defend your neighbours!

May this site's residents be successful and may all find shelter in the place they call home.

*This* is why we need tenants' unions to lead the fight for tenants' rights, not charities who aim to speak *for* tenants instead of empowering tenants with their own voice, as tenants' unions seek to do.

If you're in Scotland, join @livingrent.
If you're in Ireland, join CATU.

We must regain a collective voice so that we can speak for what we as tenants *actually* want.

In politics, the principle of 'nothing about us, without us' must apply.

Has anyone had success reaching the Washington Tenants Union? I’ve been on hold for several hours over the past 3 days and I’ve never had my call answered.

Please support this Tenants Union!

What kind of hell are we living in when rent goes up 47% in one lease term still ends up being the best "deal" in the area.

The "housing crisis" is a crime against humanity. A crisis for most and record profits for the few.

Stay strong and organize.

At the end of last month, members of TANC's Rights Committee (but not me) brought to our monthly assembly a proposal orienting toward the coming end of the local eviction moratoriums—& in particular how to prevent it's premature demise. I won't air the details of the debate that's emerged presently, you can read the next issue of the union's newsletter for that, since the proposal failed on a technicality the debate continues. I will say that I've found it a really useful opportunity to reflect on how the tenants' union should relate to political questions, ie questions beyond the direct struggles of tenant councils but affecting them—which we have not developed much of a line on. Anyway, join your local autonomous tenants union! https://atun-rsia.org/tenants-unions #tenants #TenantsUnion

AB 1482 limits rent hikes in California by basically 10% still way too damm high if you ask me!

Just learned of a tragedy—from the Los Angeles Tenants Union: "We are heartbroken and outraged by the news of a tenant in Hollywood who tragically took their own life in the face of losing their home when 2 sheriff officers, a building manager, and a locksmith showed up at their door to forcibly evict them." #tenants #tenantsunion #tenantsmovement #eviction https://latenantsunion.org/en/2022/11/10/we-will-protect-each-other-we-will-defend-our-homes-together/

#KCTenants is organizing around a moratorium on
* Rent increases
* Evictions
* expansion of homelessness services.

They have a petition at bit.ly/COVIDKC
