I took out a loan for movers, first & last months rent, and a security deposit. Renters have precarious housing bc of powerful greedy landlords & we're stuck in cycles of debt to live. Legislation disrupting that is necessary. Housing is a human right & should be a public good.
Councilmember Rue Landau@RuePhilaCouncil

Big news for Philly renters! Today, I introduced two bills designed to put more money back in your pocket. 💰 Bill #1: Caps rental application fees at just $20. Finding a home shouldn’t break the bank! 🏠 Bill #2: Let renters split up security deposits & last month’s rent into manageable installments, so you don’t have to pay it all at once. These steps will make it easier and more affordable to move into a new place, helping more people access stable housing in Philly. Check out the details in the @PhillyInquirer: inquirer.com/politics/phila…

A representative of OCF Realty told our client that the company’s properties would not accept her housing voucher, which violates Philadelphia’s Fair Practices Ordinance. Now, she and the Housing Equality Center of PA are suing for source of income discrimination.

Quite rowdy in here as Council members trickle back into the chambers. Hundreds of people here both supporting and opposing the arena

Fair housing is a right, not a privilege! Under the City of Philadelphia's Fair Practices Ordinance, landlords cannot refuse to rent to you just because of your source of income. Whether it’s a paycheck, housing voucher, or benefit, it’s all lawful income. @PhillyPCHR

Just thinking about how @LATenantsUnion protested a slumlord at his wedding and all the family + guests + bride and groom themselves had to drive by dozens of signs detailing how awful he treated them as they came into the event. 🔥❤️

In June, more than NINE HUNDRED tenants in Madrid announced a rent strike after receiving rent increases of up to 30%. Now they are suing Nestor-Azora, the third largest landlord in Spain, and demanding that the state expropriate and use the buildings for public housing.
Spanish Revolution@Spanish_Revo

En junio de 2024, más de 900 inquilinas e inquilinos en Parla, Móstoles, Pinto, Villaverde, Carabanchel y Vallecas anunciaron una huelga de alquileres. Denuncian subidas abusivas de hasta un 30%, que disparan las rentas iniciales de 900€ a cifras de 1.200€-1.600€ en tres años. 📈

Heartbreaking how we’re treating elders. In LA, 25% of the homeless population is over 55 years old. Nationally, the number of homeless seniors is expected to triple by 2030. Stories like this one are why we'll never stop fighting for tenant protections. lapublicpress.org/2024/11/undocu…

Amazing work @TTGSTL ! Substandard rental housing in Philly is a huge issue too. As is the failure of institutions that are supposed to protect tenants 👀
