System Fail 12: Until the Destruction of the Last Cage

In this episode of System Fail we take a look at increased state repression in so-called Chile, Germany, Greece, and so-called Atlanta.

Welcome to another Episode of System Fail. In this episode we will be covering the trend of rising state repression around the globe. We start in so-called Chile where the newly elected ostensibly left-libertarian president Gabriel Boric has failed to deliver on his promise to free political prisoners. Meanwhile in Munich, police have raided a number of apartments, an anarchist library, and a print shop. Then in Greece, long term anarchist prisoner Giannis Michaildis has announced a hunger strike demanding his release. Finally, a run down of the recent events at the Defend the Forest Atlanta encampment.

As of August 1, 2018, the East Hamilton Rent Strike enters its fourth month with tenants more determined than ever.

As of August 1, 2018, the East Hamilton Rent Strike enters its fourth month with tenants more determined than ever.

[ video description: On Friday June 15th, striking tenants from the Stoney Creek Towers traveled to Bay Street, Toronto's financial district. While there, they paid a visit to the head offices of CI Financial, the largest investor in their landlord, InterRent REIT. ]

· 95% of residents are renters; · 43% of residents are living in homes they cannot afford, spending more than 30% of their income on housing; · 33% of residents live in homes in need of major repairs; · 50% of residents are immigrants; · 57% of residents identify as visible minorities; · 53% of residents have a non-English mother tongue; · 45% of households live below the poverty line; and, · 33% of residents live on fixed incomes, receiving social assistance in the form of Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program, Canada Pension Plan, or Old Age Security (Statistics Canada, 2016).

[ video description: On July 3rd, tenants from the Stoney Creek Towers were dragged before the Landlord & Tenant Board, as their landlords were trying to force them to pay rent. ]

Over one hundred households from the Stoney Creek Towers are continuing to withhold rent from their landlord, InterRent Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), and property manager, CLV Group. 

Dozens more units remain empty, in large part due to the press coverage generated by the strike that has exposed the truth about the conditions of the buildings and the landlord’s poor treatment of tenants.

Tenants will continue to withhold rent until the landlord comes to the negotiating table, agrees to cancel its application for an Above Guideline rent Increase (AGI), and completes repairs to tenants’ units. This Above Guideline Increase, when combined with the annual guideline increase permitted by the Ontario government, will amount to a nearly 10% rent hike. Such an increase would be unaffordable for the tenants, including many households on fixed incomes. Tenants understand that this is the first of many AGI applications their landlord is likely to seek, and that if they do not fight back now, they will soon be priced out of their homes.

The Stoney Creek Towers is made up of four large apartment buildings in the Riverdale neighbourhood in East Hamilton. Riverdale is the largest immigrant and refugee settlement neighbourhood in Hamilton, known as Hamilton’s Arrival City. Demographic data for the two census dissemination areas (DAs) where the buildings are located paint a picture of the Stoney Creek Towers community and the conditions tenants face

The Stoney Creek Towers is a vibrant community that represents the very best of Hamilton’s scrappy working class roots. It’s a community made up of seniors on pensions, single mothers and their children, and large immigrant families, many of whom have come to Canada after being displaced from countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Syria, Pakistan, India, and Iraq. Importantly, it’s a community where neighbours have each other’s backs and are willing to fight for what’s right, including the fight to hold onto their homes.

Their landlord, InterRent REIT, has made several attempts to break the strike. They’ve threatened tenants with eviction, sent company executives to harass tenants in their homes, dragged tenants before the Landlord and Tenant Board, offered them repairs in exchange for quitting the strike, and tried to bribe tenants to move out. But through it all, tenants have stayed firm. They refuse to be priced out of their homes and the neighbourhood they love.

Over the past few months, rent strikers have employed a range of tactics of their own, in order to maintain pressure on the landlord. Here’s a short run-down, followed by some steps you can take to support their struggle.
