We are a collective of Tenant Associations from across Ontario.

No Demovictions is a tenant collective that advocates against harmful demovictions by supporting tenants through education and organization, and taking meaningful action towards policy and legislative change.

July 29th Protest at 48 Grenoble Drive and the Ontario Science Centre

The Federation of Metro Tenants' Associations began bringing together tenant associations in Toronto who were facing demovictions in February 2023. These buildings began collectively organizing in hopes of learning from one another's experiences and finding solutions to the damage being done to the stock of affordable housing in Toronto.

The three founding buildings were 25 St. Mary Street, 55 Brownlow Avenue, and 145 St. George Street. The group continues to grow as new buildings facing demoviction join our fight against unjust displacement.

You can learn more about the problem below, and learn more about our mission and goals here.

We are grateful to the Federation of Metro Tenants' Associations who generously support our fundraising. "FMTA supports No Demovictions and the great work they do fighting for tenants. We have seen an increase in demovictions and too many renters are losing their homes. No Demovictions has fought for tenants' rights and their continued advocacy has made a difference."

We support tenants by:

  • Building a strong and effective tenants’ association and inform tenants about their rights and how to navigate the process.
     

  • Sharing our own lived experiences to help you make informed decisions about your next steps.
     

  • Helping you prepare for your community council meeting by organizing a position paper, and can depute on any issues you want us to speak to!

We advocate for policy & legislative changes by:

  • Meeting with key stakeholders including politicians and organizations to build support and advocate for change.
     

  • Tracking and monitoring municipal, provincial, and federal policy/legislative initiatives related to demovictions and tenant rights.
     

  • Writing suggestions for policy changes informed by tenant experiences with demovictions.

We are not anti-density or anti-development.

We support the need to build more housing density to accommodate a growing population. We welcome our new neighbours and will continue to support responsible development. However, at a time when we need more housing, not less, it is vital to grow rather than destroy the stock of affordable housing. While in many cases demovictions will build more units in the re-development, it is also removing up to 5,000 units of housing at the same time. With a vacancy rate of 1.7%, tenants are being displaced and forced to fight their neighbours for a very limited number of rental units in their price range.
