Corporations want to expand short-term rentals in LA.
Tenants are already struggling to find affordable homes.
We need policies that keep housing in communities—not on the tourist market.

New enhanced eviction protections are now in effect across LA County, requiring renters be at least 2 months behind before eviction proceedings can begin.
A small shift, but one that gives renters more breathing room in a crisis.

Corporate landlords have money and political influence. Tenants have people power.
From California to Maine, tenants are rising. Now we need a united movement to win rent control nationwide.

Tenants in LA City & 87 other cities, not just unincorporated LA County, need protections!
Call Janice Hahn: (213) 974-4444
and Hilda Solis: (213) 974-4111
to demand that they use their power - under the state of emergency they declared - to protect tenants county-wide!
LA County leaders want to make it harder to evict tenants targeted by ICE. But they can’t agree on how
The Board of Supervisors passed a motion to raise the rent debt threshold in unincorporated areas and could extend protections countywide.

They're not "supposed" to just take your kids just because you're homeless - but they do. I've seen reunification plans where the only thing on there is "parent gets housing within 2 months" - impossible task for most folks on the street. Then their kids are put up for adoption.
Westside/ Lado Oeste LATU retweeted
They could simply ask the recipients
This is why I advocated so hard for CF19-1020, a City Lived Expertise Commission on Homelessness.
We are the only ones who can account for what we got/didn’t get/were supposed to access but didn’t.
No 1 listens to homeless ppl

Two tenants associations are fighting RUBS, "Ratio Utility Billing Systems," which landlords use to push costs onto tenants, adding hundreds to rent each month with no transparency
The landlord for both is Equity Residential, the largest landlord in LA

KCRW interviewed our friend Charles about how sweeps have harmed him. Even when politicians like Councilmember @HugoForCD13 Soto-Martinez, who authorized the sweeping of Charles’s encampment, claim their sweeps are “compassionate,” the outcomes are the same.
