In this episode, we dive into the growing issue of renoviction in Kitchener-Waterloo, where landlords are forcing tenants out under the guise of renovations, only to raise rents significantly. Join us as we speak with local tenant organizer, Megan Walker, to explore the fight for housing justice, tenant rights, and the strategies being used to resist displacement and protect affordable housing in our community.
