New coverage from CBC News, on our fight against PSP Investments’ and Starlight Investments’ rent hikes, poor conditions at our buildings, and how a federal crown corporation is pricing us out of our homes

Even though the rent hikes were stayed by the courts, PSP and Starlight issued N4 eviction notices to tenants at our buildings who did not pay the AGIs. Our landlords continue to back their intention to extract from tenants the highest possible rents with the threat of eviction.

At the same time that PSP Investments promotes their commitment to public benefit with their Downsview development—under the name Northcrest—they are pushing families and seniors on fixed incomes out of their homes in Thorncliffe Park. torontotoday.ca/local/real-est…

Yesterday, Thorncliffe Park Tenants protested at a Canadian Club Toronto event that was sponsored by landlord PSP Investments subsidiary Northcrest Developments. While PSP’s worried about building their brand in Toronto, Thorncliffe tenants are worried about losing their homes.

Starlight Investments boasts about “The Starlight Impact” and claims to have a positive impact on communities. During our protest last week, tenants spoke about the real Starlight impact and how our lives have become more difficult since Starlight took over our buildings. 🧵

Prior to last week's group eviction hearing where we raised collective issues we have faced since PSP Investments and Starlight acquired our buildings, there were negotiations that broke down. This is the landlords' final offer to tenants, and why negotiations broke down. (1/7)

From Sunday to Tuesday there were recurring power outages at 71 Thorncliffe Park. Tenants could not cool our apartments during the heat wave. Today, the power is shut down for a previously planned outage. These issues didn’t exist before Starlight and PSP Investments took over.
