Rent strikes are just one tool in the chest of the York South-Weston Tenant Union in Toronto. Bruno, one of the organizers with the union provides a step by step guide on how they got to where they are now - on strike, withholding rent from landlords who clearly underestimated the collective power of their tenants.

Connecting neighbours, finding common ground, overcoming apathy and fear and standing up for their rights. These tenants are "fighting for their right to home".

We find out they aren't the only tenants on a rent strike in Ontario - each group working with one another and giving the rest of us the inspiration we need to do the same.
