DYK that some landlords are imposing a $60 fee on renters for utilizing online portals to pay their rent?
These unnecessary charges further exacerbate the challenges households already burdened by rent expenses face. Let's put an end to these unjustifiable fees. #EndJunkFees
This tenant organizing $ is important. There’s a tremendous power imbalance in our housing system tilting heavily in favor of landlords at expense of renters. Tenant organizing & empowerment are essential to rebalancing power & ensuring safe/affordable homes.
@KEZI9 Regional long term rent assistance needs to be a key part of this mix with other renter protections. They go hand in hand with supply solutions.
Unfortunately @city_eugene the chamber's homelessness solution plan omits all consumer protections: https://t.co/SCiRXG5j6t
Today, I signed bills that will move us forward on preventing homelessness, helping individuals experiencing homelessness, and easing the path to building more housing in every part of the state.
Thank you, legislators and advocates, for making progress. Let’s keep going!
The city of eugene passed renter protections phase 2 on a 5-2. We now have increased protections for security deposits, application processes, and no cause eviction relocation assistance. The city is now tracking evictions in a comprehensive way. BIG WIN for renters!
