On Saturday, Sept 9, the Vancouver Tenants Union held a regular monthly General Meeting. The meeting was standing room only as tenants flooded to the meeting angry, afraid and in some cases, in tears, over the Provincial Government’s announcement to increase rents 4.5%.
Members called for action.
We are calling on our 1000 members, concerned groups and the public to join us as we stand up and tell Selina Robinson, the BC government and the landlords they are protecting that this 4.5% rent increase is unacceptable! We want a four year rent freeze and real rent control!
Hear from courageous tenants, who risk eviction by speaking out, talk about their struggles to find and keep adequately maintained housing as the housing crisis intensifies.
Momentum is growing. Make sure your voice is heard. And spread the word to friends, family and neighbours. There is strength in numbers
