Denton ATU

Developers and landlords have run Denton for too long. Denton Autonomous Tenants’ Union seeks to put power in the hands of tenants through direct action!

Weather permitting, the Denton Left will be hosting a free store on UNT's campus. Whether it be clothes, food, or household items all donations will be freely given.

UNT people if you were ever thinking about leasing with Denton Student Apartments…don’t.

It’s literally been colder in my apartment than outside for weeks because they refuse to turn on the heat. But keep saying to get more blankets and a space heater (a fire hazard @ night)

How does a nonprofit founded in 2019 with few assets and no completed projects become a preferred developer and then be granted deeds for over a dozen properties at a cut rate cost from the City of Dallas?

At least 46 ppl drowned in Hurricane Ida in the northeast US, so far a higher number than in Louisiana, where it first made landfall 1,400 miles away.

A major reason for this is greedy landlords—and there is a connection to why so few housing relief funds have been utilized.

There is currently a #COVID19 outbreak inside the #Denton County jail. 23yr old Brandon Dominguez recently died after contracting the virus at the jail. Two jail staffers also passed away in the last week. Ending pre-trial detention would save lives!

Here is our Hurricane Ida volunteer sign up form (for both remote and on the ground support). Sending gratitude and love to everybody who is in this movement alongside us. https://t.co/sW1myya2Ql

The government didn’t distribute the rental assistance money it promised and will now proceed with mass evictions at the start of the school year, hurricane season and when covid hospitalizations are at the highest they’ve ever been.

[katelin @loud_socialist]

if an unelected body of 9 people can look at a centuries-old document and claim that the document gives landlords the right to evict people in the middle of a global pandemic we should get rid of both that unelected body and that centuries-old document

[Denton Left @DentonLeft]

Come join the Denton Left for a free store on UNT's campus!

Apartments kill me showing 20 photos of the leasing office, I’m not living there!

[return to reply guy @neoliberal_dad]

If you’re not getting your rental payments just sell one of the three houses you own! Oh what, you can’t sell because you can’t evict? Just borrow against them and sell later! Wait you’re still paying the mortgage on all of them? What the Fuck made you think this was a good idea

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Love 2 be a “mom and pop landlord” who owns nine (9) properties

[René 🟥🚩🇵🇸 @rcmoya84]

At this point, the obvious desire on the part of landlords isn't to recover money - the state is willing to pay them dollar for dollar for lost rent - but to recover an unrestricted right to evict people + permanently limit the power of the state on evictions... and more.
