Friend --
In October 2022, Nidia Soto, her three children, and her elderly neighbors were all given a 60 day eviction notice to leave the apartment they had called home for over 12 years. The notice claimed a substantial renovation eviction - major plumbing repair, electrical work - possibly even tearing down the building they were told. 20 days after moving out, the landlord rented Nidia’s apartment for twice as much as what Nidia had paid - a 100% rent increase.
In just weeks, the Senate Appropriations Committee will vote on SB 567 which will stop landlords like Nidia's from falsely “renovicting” families for profit. Urge key legislators to vote yes now! <[link removed]>
For Nidia, finding an equivalently affordable home to house her family was impossible - the cost for a 2 bedroom in California has increased by 114% since she was last looking in 2010. Nidia now pays three times more than what her previous rent had been - 100% of her paycheck goes to rent with no money to pay for food, medicine, transit, etc.
What happened to Nidia's family should happen to no one. Take action to win SB 567! <[link removed]>
SB 567 protects renters by:
- Strengthening enforcement of the statewide rent cap and just cause for evictions, allowing private and public legal action and damages;
- Helps begin to close the loopholes in order to make it more difficult to fraudulently use the “substantial renovation” or “owner move-in” for unjust “no-fault” evictions.
Our strength in numbers has gotten SB 567 through the Senate, let’s keep the momentum going by calling and emailing the State Assembly! Take one minute to urge your Assemblymember to vote yes on SB 567! <[link removed]>
In solidarity,
