At 1440 and 1442 Lawrence Avenue West, two white brick apartment buildings in North York covered in blue balconies, more than 100 people are on a rent strike.
They have not paid rent since Oct. 1, according to the York South-Weston Tenants’ Union. It’s been nearly seven months since those residents began the rent strike against the real estate company that owns the buildings over what they say are poor conditions and a series of rent hikes higher than the provincial limit.
