Indigenous context: Rental Market Tenant Protections

What the general tenant-protections finding misses

The FLAGSHIP tenant-protections document covers rent guidelines, eviction rates, and LTB timelines without naming any Indigenous-specific tenant population, provider, or advocacy position — despite a live 2025 legislative fight (Bill 60) that Ontario's own urban Indigenous service federation has stated will disproportionately affect Indigenous tenants.

What is documented, in Indigenous organizations' own words

• OFIFC (Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres) formally called for the withdrawal of Bill 60 in November 2025, naming the shortened eviction-appeal window and the elimination of landlord's-own-use compensation as changes that will "deepen Indigenous tenant homelessness":

"We call on the Government of Ontario to withdraw Bill 60 and engage in meaningful consultation with Indigenous communities and tenant advocacy organizations. Legislation that speeds up evictions without safeguards undermines reconciliation and deepens systemic inequities." — Sean Longboat, Executive Director, OFIFC, November 21, 2025, https://ofifc.org/ofifc-response-to-bill-60/ (Indigenous-authored)

• The Aboriginal Housing Support Centre (run by Wigwamen) provides direct landlord/tenant dispute resolution and tenant-rights training specifically for Indigenous people in Toronto — the LTB's applicability to Indigenous housing providers is a documented gap area per an earlier internal research file §6(a)'s own framing of this page. https://aboriginalhsc.org/ (Indigenous-authored; no further quotable position statement found on this specific page as of this review — see an earlier internal research file.)
• Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services frames tenant/housing stability partly as a jurisdiction-and-partnership question — see the Cora McGuire-Cyrette and CHRA Indigenous Housing Caucus Working Group quotes in the same 08_housing_and_homelessness.md file.

CARE check (this library's Indigenous-sources framework, applied to this addition)

• Collective benefit: surfaces a live, named legislative concern (Bill 60) that a Toronto-focused tenant-protections leaf would otherwise omit entirely.
• Authority to control: the Longboat quote is a direct, attributed pointer to OFIFC's own press release; nothing here reinterprets or sharpens the position.
• Responsibility: no relationship exists between this project and OFIFC, Wigwamen, or OAHS — the honest-limitation disclosure in an earlier internal research file §7 applies in full.
• Ethics: this block does not claim OFIFC has reviewed or endorsed this page; it cites only what OFIFC has already published, and does not extend Longboat's Bill 60-specific statement into a general claim about "what Indigenous tenants want."
