Niagara Tenants Union is a grassroots network of volunteer tenants and activists who are working together to build tenant power and resistance against skyrocketing rents, gentrification and displacement, and harmful landlords.
We are based in St. Catharines and hope to expand to support other communities in Niagara Region to organize themselves.
We are direct action focused and aim to respond to the housing crisis by getting organized and building autonomous tenant power to fight back against things like evictions, unsafe rental units, rent increases, landlord abuse and harassment, and broader issues of structural housing inequality.
