Tenants at a west-end Toronto apartment building have ended their months-long rent strike after they say the landlord withdrew an attempt to retroactively increase rents by more than five per cent.
Advocates are hailing it as a victory amid a surge of rent strikes across Toronto in recent years, with hundreds of tenants protesting what they call deteriorating living conditions and unfair rent hikes.

I like the idea of tenant unions and I think property managers will also enjoy the benefits of them after the initial unrest / formation pains die down.
