Today a landlord in #Parkdale tried to evict a tenant who couldn’t pay his rent, and threatened to call the cops on him. Thankfully, he’d already used the tools at http://KeepYourRent.com  to connect with neighbours who were ready to have his back.

As with all bullies, sometimes just knowing a tenant isn’t alone is enough to change a landlord’s disposition.

What started with a threat of immediate eviction & police action from the building manager became a negotiation between the tenant and the building’s owners.

He will not be moving out before he wants to. He will not be paying rent.

#KeepYourRent is not a ‘hashtag movement’ — it’s a call to organize with your neighbours to defend your collective interests as working class people.

Because it works.

Go to http://KeepYourRent.com  and start organizing today. May 1st approaches.
