Our union is organizing a neighbourhood discussion in #Hochelaga on this year's #RentIncrease. The discussion will be in French, but we have a similar workshop in English coming up soon, organized by our Centre-Sud / Village tenant council (stay tuned).

The workshop in Hochelaga will be this Saturday, 12pm, at 1800 Letourneux. Childcare and food will be provided. All are welcome!

In this public meeting, we will be discussing how to start organizing with your neighbours, how to refuse increases together, and how to win negotiations with your landlord by applying pressure through collective actions for reductions in our rent increases.

Landlords and the Tribunal are not on our side. We are fighting rent increases this year that are the highest they’ve been in decades. Say, “No!” to hikes TOGETHER as neighbours. If you would like help fighting against your rent increase, don't hesitate to reach out.
