Burbank City Council will meet on June 15. If you want a sustainable rent cap and stronger eviction protections, show up and demand them! Email City Council at CityCouncil@burbankca.gov by noon on Tuesday with your demands, and then show up in person to speak out! Crafting talking about the following subjects, and speak about your personal experience as a tenant.

1. Rent Registry:

• Provide crucial data including amount of rental units, occupancy rate, rental rates, so the city can make informed housing policy decisions.
• Understand who owns Burbank's housing including corporations, shell companies, and the true prevalence of local mom and pop landlords.
• Regulate rent increases and evictions through a self-funded city program to ensure fairness and compliance with the law.

2. Rent Stabilization:

• The current maximum 8.9% annual rent increase it too high! Families, parents, the elderly, and working class Burbank tenants can't afford these unsustainable annual increases!
• 2-4% Annual rent increases will allow families to stay housed and continue participating in the community and supporting local businesses.
• We've been bringing this and other issues up for over 2 years now, it's time City Council acts on tenant demands!

3. Eviction Protections:

• Multiplexes and apartments have some eviction protections requiring "Just Cause" to evict, but many tenants including those in houses and condos lack these protections. Demand Universal Just Cause!
• Tenants have been victim to unfair "renovation evictions" where landlords evict entire buildings under the guise of earthquake retrofits and substantial remodeling, but often just perform cosmetic improvements and jack up the rent. No more reno-victions!

City council can act now to implement these protections, but they will only do so if renters email them and show up to City Council to make your demands heard!
