To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
WHEREAS the Ford government cancelled rent control on units built after November 2018; and
WHEREAS the cost to rent a home has never been higher; and
WHEREAS people are being forced to leave their communities because decent, affordable homes are increasingly out of reach; and
WHEREAS the Rent Stabilization Act, 2025 will ensure tenants are not gouged on rent each year;
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, PETITION THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO AS FOLLOWS:
To immediately introduce real rent control, also known as vacancy control, so rent control applies to the rental, and not just the tenancy. This will remove the incentive of unethical landlords to use bad faith evictions and renovictions to squeeze out existing tenants so they can charge a higher rent to the next tenant.
