More than 100 tenants at 1440 and 1442 Lawrence Avenue West will go on rent strike Sunday joining the ranks of nearly 500 residents who have been withholding payments since early summer.
It is possible to “refuse” to pay rent due to serious issues like the landlord refusing to fix stuff. I put refuse in quotes since there’s likely a specific process you have to go through for the refusal to be protected
Huh, are rent strikes a new thing? Pretty cool idea. Hope it works out for them.
Rent strikes have been a thing for a while, mostly when needed repairs are ignored

Oh I knew about that, just hadn’t heard of organized Tennant strikes
