10-month Toronto rent strike leads to immediate repairs mandated by Landlord and Tenant Board.

Tenants in north-end Toronto secured a major victory after a 10-month rent strike, prompting the Landlord and Tenant Board to mandate immediate repairs by Barney River Investments at their two apartment buildings. This ruling, potentially unprecedented, comes amid a broader wave of rent strikes across the city since May 2023. The decision has inspired other tenants to advocate for their rights as they await similar hearings.
