Many LATU members - gardeners, housecleaners, and other domestic workers who regularly commute from central LA to Topanga, Calabasas, and the Palisades - have already lost income because of the fires. STOP THE EVICTIONS FREEZE THE RENTS SEIZE VACANT UNITS

In the midst of all this destruction, eviction courts are still churning. The 6th floor of the downtown courthouse is packed today. Thousands and thousands more people will lose their jobs from these fires. WE DEMAND AN EMERGENCY EVICTION MORATORIUM AND A RENT FREEZE.

Example(2/2) "- there was no hot water at the building for over 24 hours this week! All Met Management cares about is lining their pockets and profiting at the expense of the safety, health, and lives of tenants."

Example(1/2): "Met Management does not provide safe, livable housing. They fail to pay utility bills on time,a nd tenants constantly get water and gas shut off notices! Met management treats tenants rudely and rarely responds to maintenance requests, even if they're urgent - "

CALL TO ACTION!! Imagine getting a letter saying your apartment's water might be shut off because your landlord owes over $20k to the city... NOT GOOD. Help Stephensberg Apartments tenants by leaving a building review: Google maps, Apartments . com, Yelp, or Facebook.
