Landlords are plotting and scheming against you because they can only earn 3.8% more this year.

This is a time when landlords and rental / housing companies are making record profits. They should be happy with 3.8%, it’s more than I would give them.

We need a PERMANENT rent cap of 2% or inflation, whichever is lower.

We need to ban reno-victions. If you lived there before the reno’s, you have the right to live there after.

When a building is sold, tenants should have the right of first refusal.

Housing needs to be built at an unprecedented rate to increase supply and decrease prices.

Rental Unions need to be in place to give tenants a bargaining voice against their landlords.

Private Companies should get NO funding. Only public serves should get public money.

4/4

The private sector has consistently failed to provide a safe, secure and affordable housing market.

It’s time for landlords and their capital to sit down and move out of the way, so that communities can have housing people can afford!
