Protect CA Tenants - Vote Yes for the Homelessness Prevention Act (SB567) in the Senate!
Right now, Senator Allen, Ashby, Atkins, Bradford, Caballero, Min, Portantino, Umberg and Wiener can help millions of working class, fixed income and low income Californians hold onto their California dream and prevent homelessness by prohibiting landlords from issuing unreasonable rent increases as a shortcut to eviction.
Some landlords have even exploited the rules of "no fault" evictions that were supposed to protect renters, putting families on the streets and raising rents to unaffordable levels.
It is up to us, as Californians, to fight for a future that reflects who we are: diverse, welcoming, innovative. A place that our children and grandchildren can continue to call their home.
Urge these 9 Senators who are on the to pass the Homelessness Prevention Act - Senate Bill 567- to stop landlords from exploiting loopholes in the existing law resulting in destroyed communities, economies and uprooted families by doing the following:
- Lowering the statewide rent increase cap from 10% to 5% (some cities have a lower cap!)
- Giving tenants the right to return to substantially renovated units without a rent increase
- Implementing enforcement measures that keep landlords from removing their buildings from the housing market just to put them back on the market at unaffordable prices.
Please sign today to make sure all California children, today and tomorrow, have a roof over their head and a safe place to live by passing Senate Bill 567 to close loopholes and stop landlords from evicting for profit.
