The Starlight Tenant’s Union’s first priority is to help tenants like you avoid unlawful evictions.
Housing profiteers like Starlight want frequent turnover so they can reset rents to the maximum the market will suffer. If you have lived in your apartment for more than a year, they want you out.
Alone, you are an easy target. As a member of a union, a landlord is much less likely to try to evict or harass you.
Housing profiteers often attempt to drive tenants out via construction harassment: loud, drawn-out, unnecessary renovations designed to generate insufferable noise and discomfort. Regardless of whether the renovations are required or not, tenants are entitled to compensation when an ongoing loss of quiet enjoyment occurs.
If your building is undergoing renovations, or the landlord is failing to maintain to reasonable standards, the Starlight Tenant’s Union is here to help you seek compensation from your province’s tenancy authority.
Becoming part of a tenancy union can help you build relationships with your neighbors, share information and evidence, and support each other.
There is strength, security and dignity in knowing you and your neighbors will work together to protect each other if your landlord attempts to violate tenancy laws or harass you out of your home.
