Corporate landlord shows ‘true colours’ by declining mayor's invitation to meet striking tenants
While the tenants of 33 King St. and 22 John St., in Toronto, say it's disappointing and "shameful" that their landlord declined the mayor’s invitation to sit at the negotiating table, they remain undeterred in their ongoing rent strike against their landlord's rent increases.
"We are disappointed that Dream has refused even the mayor's invitation to come and meet with tenants as a collective," Chiara Padovani, an organizer with the York-South Weston Tenant Union (YSW), told reporters outside a town hall Wednesday night, Sept. 13, at Toronto’s Weston King Neighbourhood Centre.
