🧵The Landlord and Tenant Board is broken – and neither renters nor landlords can afford any more delays.

I support the Ombudsman’s recommendations to repair the inequities embedded in the LTB.

But to protect Ontario’s tenants, we must go much further.

For years, advocates on the front lines have been calling for real solutions to a broken rental system. Solutions like the ones Ontario Greens have long-championed:

Reinstate rent controls on all units to protect tenants from being unfairly priced out of their homes;

Implement vacancy controls to get rid of the incentive for landlords to drive out long-standing tenants in order to increase rents;

Build 182,000 new permanently affordable community housing rental homes over the next decade;

And double social assistance rates so people with disabilities don’t have to choose between buying groceries and paying rent.

Housing is a human right. Ontario is ready for a government that treats it like one.
