Tell Mark Carney: We need federal rent control now!

The rent is too damn high — and corporate landlords are driving it even higher. In half the country, there’s no rent control on newly built homes, and it’s renters who are paying the price.

The federal government is about to hand out billions of public dollars to build new housing through Build Canada Homes. But without strings attached, that cash will just fuel more sky-high rents.

The government says it wants to fix the housing crisis — but unless we demand it, they’ll keep handing out public money with no rent protections, letting corporate landlords rake in profits while renters struggle. We can’t let another billion dollars go to fuelling the housing crisis. It’s time to draw the line.

Sign the petition now to demand federal rent control on all publicly funded housing projects.

To: Prime Minister Mark Carney, The Federal Government of Canada
We, the undersigned, call on the Government of Canada to require strong rent control provisions as a condition for all funding distributed through Build Canada Homes. Public housing investments must guarantee long-term affordability and protect renters from price-gouging. No federal dollars should support developments without enforceable rent protections.

Tell Mark Carney: We need federal rent control now!

Target: Prime Minister Mark Carney, The Federal Government of Canada
