About 100 households awaiting an eviction decision over a two-year rent strike say they rejected their landlord’s final settlement offer because it would “silence” them if future issues were to arise.
The tenants at 71, 75 and 79 Thorncliffe Park Dr. stopped paying landlord Starlight Investments in 2023, claiming the landlord purposely left their apartments in disrepair and gave them unfair, unaffordable above-guideline rent increases (AGIs). The landlord said the AGIs were necessary to cover improvements to the building.
When settlement talks ordered by the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) broke down at the end of March, the landlord continued pursuing eviction, with hearings taking place over four days in June. A decision could come within weeks or months.
This is the heart of Mosqueteria land. It will be interesting to see how the Board rules.
The Thorncliff Park neighborhood in Toronto, ON, Canada has the most densely populated Muslim community in North America. Entire condo units have been converted into small mosques!
