A group of tenants who have come together to improve their
situation as tenants and create community bonds through meetings and events.
Can Our
Landlords Stop Us From Forming a Tenants’ Association?
NO! We have the legal right to organize. The Residential Tenancies Act says that a landlord cannot interfere
with any tenant who is organizing or joining a tenant association (RTA, s. 83, s.233)
How Can
We Help Ourselves?
The PVTA can take on legal issues such as maintenance, security,
unfair evictions, rent increases, etc.
Will
There Be Membership Dues?
Yes. Unfortunately, there are things that do cost money, such as
photocopying legal fees, etc. Dues will range between $5 - $10 per year per
household. If a perspective member is in financial straits, but wishes to join,
alternative arrangements may be made.
Meetings:
They will be held on Wednesdays at 7 pm. Notices will be sent at
least 10 days prior to the meeting. If you have an issue that you would like to
have on the Agenda at the meeting it must be made in writing no later than the
Monday before the meeting. This can be done via email or by dropping a notice
off at the apartment of your Floor or Building Captain.

At this
time we will elect our board members. If you are intent on running it is vital
that you attend this meeting. We will also be striking committees, appointing
Floor and Building Captains, and discussing issues such as fees. This meeting
