RentSafe Officers Get New Powers | Toronto News

Toronto’s RentSafe officers are getting a major upgrade—councillor Josh Matlow wants them empowered to hunt down fraudulent evictions, gather evidence, and even launch criminal investigations against shady landlords. With tenants often left to fight alone, Matlow argues corporate rental fraud deserves the same serious treatment as shoplifting.

The motion heads to city council soon—time to make sure tenants aren’t left holding the bag. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
