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.

The company said it has invested over $3.3 million to improve the tenants' quality of life

This is never the reason. They are growing the value of their asset. They don't give the slightest shit about the tenants.
