We say “up with wages, down with rents” for a reason.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen workers threatened with eviction, foreclosure, and homelessness for exercising their right to a living wage.
We stand with workers. And don’t forget: you have housing rights too 💪🏽
Studio executives are trying to push people out of their homes & destroy families’ livelihoods, simply to make more money for themselves.
An especially disgusting tactic being deployed against writers amidst our region’s housing and homelessness crisis.
Huge victory! 🥳🎉
Yesterday, The @LACountyBOS unanimously approved a motion to give staff 10 months to write an ordinance that guarantees that tenants in eviction court have a attorneys to help them navigate the complexities of landlord-tenant law.

I am *passionate* about protecting renters. Not just because I am a renter, but because of what I have experienced as a renter.
I'm glad that our Board is discussing further actions to strengthen our rent stabilization ordinance and to establish right to counsel in LA County.
Kindly take a minute to read and sign this petition to fix the dysfunctional fire alarm system currently endangering residents at Versailles Woodland Hills and wasting our local fire station’s resources. https://t.co/Zjs3DdPRMs

@hammer_museum @AnnaScottJourno Hi ! Just finding out about these forums and planning to attend the one on July 11.
Any chance there is a recording of the first 2 sessions ? 🙏
Nice photo op. But let’s remember that Equity Residential was sued by the DC Attorney General for overcharging residents and it was forced to pay a $2 million penalty. Equity’s legal troubles are not over. https://t.co/RTUrD0STna
We are dealing with this issue right now in a supposedly smoke free @EquityRes building in Woodland Hills CA! we have families of small children having headaches due to 2nd hand 🚬reaching out to the association asking how to address this! Can we coordinate efforts ?
Many residents of apartment buildings and condo buildings in DC have complained about second-hand smoke, even in buildings that are advertised as non-smoking.
Does second-hand smoke concern you? Any resident of DC can complete this important survey: https://t.co/6C9KPIZue3
Over 70% of tenants in LA are rent-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on rent.
Almost half of tenants spend over 50% of their income on rent.
We need publicly-funded affordable housing, and thanks to Measure ULA, we can make that happen.
“Right now there's no deterrence in place for landlords who illegally raise the rent,” such as fines ... “This makes them more likely to test the policy and see what they can get away with.” - Mateo Gil, @SAJE_ShiftPower
