A group of tenants in Ottawa have threatened to ruin their landlord’s reputation if he doesn’t give in to their demands. This anonymous group opened a Twitter account today, and recently made some bold demands.

Today, a group of tenants in Ottawa facing renoviction during the pandemic delivered notice of demands to the landlord’s penthouse condo suite and sent a copy by registered mail. If the landlord fails to meet all five demands, tenants are ready to go public. pic.twitter.com/zBSRqcPNsh

According to this shadowy group, the demands are:

Withdraw all N13 eviction notices
Guarantee tenants can stay in their homes
Stop pressuring tenants to move
Allow tenants to switch units if they are not satisfied with the state of their current unit
Communicate collectively and directly

It is unclear whether this is a group with genuine concerns, or anarchists looking for a fight.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
