Synopsis
In Parkdale, Toronto, over 300 tenants organized a rent strike in the summer of 2017. They protested against rent increases across 12 apartment buildings that threatened to displace long-term residents. After months of organizing and taking action, they faced the largest corporate landlord in the area. Their efforts resulted in a victory against rising rents. The events in Parkdale reflect the challenges of gentrification that affect working-class neighborhoods worldwide.
