VICTORY! Tenant Action Overturns Air Conditioning Fee

The Park Vista Tenants’ Association was pleased to see CAPREIT withdraw plans to impose a seasonal fee of $125 per air conditioner on tenants.

Thanks to all the tenants who supported the Park Vista Tenants' Association as we challenged the landlord on this fee. 

Particular thanks to long-time tenant Patricia Steward, an articulate advocate against the new fee.

Kudos to the CBC and CTV for their coverage of this issue and Geordie Dent of the Federation of Metro Tenants' Associations for being a tireless champion for tenants.
