多伦多租户从2026年3月1日起取消租金,超过提议的5.4%的房租涨幅和恶劣的建筑条件。 Toronto tenants to strike rent starting March 1, 2026, over a proposed 5.4% rent hike and poor building conditions.

位于多伦多75号斯宾塞大道的一公寓楼的租户计划从2026年3月1日开始进行租金罢工,以抗议房东MetCap Living的申请,要求在2025年租金上至5.4%,远远超过安大略省的2.5%的指导标准. Tenants at a Toronto apartment building on 75 Spencer Avenue are planning a rent strike starting March 1, 2026, to protest landlord MetCap Living’s申请 for a retroactive 2025 rent increase of up to 5.4%, far exceeding Ontario’s 2.5% guideline. 居民,包括老年人和中产阶级工人,说他们付不起每月高涨66美元至117美元的费用,并指出正在讨论的问题,如破碎的地板、害虫和被损坏的柜子,他们声称,尽管大堂翻修和办公室改建,这些问题仍然没有解决。 Residents, including seniors and middle-class workers, say they cannot afford monthly hikes of $66 to $117 and point to ongoing issues like broken flooring, pests, and damaged cabinets, which they claim remain unresolved despite lobby renovations and office conversions. MetCap称,根据省级规则,它的升级符合高于准则的增长条件,并为受影响的租户提供了救济方案。 MetCap argues its upgrades qualify for an above-guideline increase under provincial rules and offers a relief program for affected tenants. 房东和租户委员会尚未安排听证会。 The Landlord and Tenant Board has not yet scheduled a hearing. MetCap的Parkdale房产未来会发生租金上涨, 与2017年类似建筑物的房租罢工相呼应。 Activists warn the case could set a precedent for future rent hikes across MetCap’s Parkdale properties, echoing a 2017 rent strike at similar buildings.
