On Thursday October 16 at 12 PM, join me, MPP Catherine McKenney, Alex Venuto from Ontario Renters for Fair Housing, and tenant advocates at 20 Prince Arthur Ave to demand a ban on Above Guideline Rent Increases (AGI).
My office constantly hears from tenants who are being hit with back-to-back AGIs. This is driving rents to unaffordable levels and forcing people out of the neighbourhoods they’ve long called home. AGIs let big landlords offload basic repair and maintenance costs onto tenants, while raking in profit.
The Ford government has had seven years to make housing more affordable. Instead, they’ve opened loopholes that let corporate landlords hike rents through AGIs, worsening Ontario’s housing crisis. It’s time to close those loopholes and protect tenants.
