Write Your State Legislators: Support Just Cause Eviction Protection!

No fault evictions devastate and destabilize our communities--and their negative impacts fall hardest on working-class, immigrant, and Black and brown tenants.

No-fault evictions are often brought by new, corporate landlords who suddenly and drastically raise rents for whole complexes of tenants who have paid their rent on time and followed the rules but cannot afford the staggering rent increase. No-fault, or "lapse of time" evictions are often a cover for otherwise unlawful discrimination on the basis of race or even gender orientation--or for retaliation against someone who requests repairs or brings up health and safety issues.

Call Speaker of the House Matt Ritter at 860-240-8489 and ask him to call HB 6880 for a House vote to end these shameful and unjust evictions. Then use this form to report how your call went>>

You may go to voicemail--if so, it will be for Alex, Legislative Aide to Speaker Matt Ritter. Please leave a message!

Here’s an idea of what to say:

Hi, this is [NAME], and I’m calling Speaker Ritter from [TOWN] to urge him to call an immediate House vote on HB 6889, which will stop profiteering corporate landlords who suddenly and drastically raise rents for whole complexes of tenants who have paid their rent on time and followed the rules and then evict them without them having done anything wrong. I am paying attention to Speaker Ritter's actions on Just Cause and expect a vote to be called. Thank you!
