April 1st is coming fast.
The income support offered from different levels of government won’t come in time.

It’s up to us to support one another to get through this. Please don’t suffer alone.

To survive this renters will need to start building our power.
We’ll need to take care of each other.
But we’ll also need to make our voices heard.
We will need to tell the government what we really need.
And if they don’t act then we will.

Tenants in Rental Buildings are already talking to one another about what to do on April 1st. But in the context of COVID-19 we have to be safe and not contributing to the problem. Stay tuned for tips and protocol and how to organize your building safely!! 😷✊
We don't advise ANY in person meetings or passing notes under doors to communicate with neighbours. We are still learning about how long the disease stays on surfaces. We can't take chances and risk other peoples' lives.
Stay Safe! Stay tuned.

Thanks to the folks who called Selina, told us their stories about the #bcrentcrisis, and shared our posts, we got a basic #evictionmoratorium! But our work isn't over yet - there are still renters who won't be covered by even the new EI, and /1
$500 going directly to the landlord won't go very far in Vancouver or Victoria. Even the $1000 lump sum benefit won't go very far in cities where the combined $1500 could easily be rent for a 1 BD apartment. We still have other expenses and need to eat! /2
If you're stuck choosing between food/medication and rent, we urge you to put your health first! #foodbeforerent
Be safe. Just stay. Even if you can't pay.
Full statement to come. /3
