Tenants Together

California has spent billions on homelessness, but too much goes to crisis response instead of prevention. We need stronger tenant protections, rent control, and direct support to keep people housed before they lose their homes. dailybulletin.com/2026/05/09/sta…

California’s gubernatorial candidates agree: housing costs are out of control and it’s too hard to build. It’s time for them to commit to a public fund for affordable housing and statewide rent control. nbcnews.com/video/californ…

Tenant equity programs give small cash-back perks, but they don’t solve the real issue: rents are rising too fast. Without rent control and real affordability, these quick fixes don’t change the housing crisis—they just soften it at the edges. newrepublic.com/article/209998…

We need more affordable and social housing near transit, but that growth must come with strong tenant protections so existing renters can stay in their communities and aren’t thrown out of their homes by redevelopment pressure. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/yim…

Eviction filings in California are at a 6-year high, and most renters still face court alone without legal support. We need sustained investment in eviction defense, stronger tenant protections and a statewide right to counsel so families can stay housed. calbudgetcenter.org/resources/evic…

More #MayDay photos!

From LA to Fresno to SF and beyond, TT members, volunteers and staff were out on #MayDay demanding justice for workers, immigrants, and tenants TOGETHER. Check out our special May Day shirts that say it loud: A Union at Home and a Union at Work!

Corporations want to expand short-term rentals in LA. Tenants are already struggling to find affordable homes. We need policies that keep housing in communities—not on the tourist market. latimes.com/california/sto…

LA is building more housing than last year, yet affordability remains out of reach. More supply does not automatically mean affordability. Without rent control and tenant protections, the crisis continues. therealdeal.com/la/2026/05/01/…

Tenants Together is recruiting for summer volunteers! Volunteers will get the opportunity immerse themselves in the world of California tenants rights and support members of the community. Apply to learn more: bit.ly/tt-new-volunte…

Corporate landlords have money and political influence. Tenants have people power. From California to Maine, tenants are rising. Now we need a united movement to win rent control nationwide. citywatchla.com/voices/32640-t…

Candidates say that California needs more housing, but their solutions mostly center on building luxury homes and condos that the average person cannot afford. What’s missing is a serious focus on affordability and tenant protections. kron4.com/news/the-cost-…

#MeasureULA, the “mansion tax” that funds tenant aid & social housing is back on the ballot. A new measure could repeal it & make future luxury housing taxes harder to pass, putting billions for affordability programs at risk. laist.com/news/housing-h…

A 91-year-old woman’s rent went from $297 → $995 overnight—with just 4 days to pay or face penalties. Like many mobile home residents, she owns her home but rents the land beneath it—leaving her trapped and vulnerable to hikes she can’t escape. kqed.org/news/12079706/…

Landlords aren’t just raising rents, they’re using AI to coordinate and squeeze tenants even more. Algorithms now help corporate landlords push rents as high as possible. That’s not innovation or freedom. That’s exploitation. capitolweekly.net/how-corporate-…

From wildfires to hurricanes to COVID–corporate landlords exploit crisis to displace communities. We need protections before the next disaster hits. forgeorganizing.org/article/when-d…

Decarbonized homes mean: ✔️ lower energy bills ✔️ healthier air ✔️ more comfort So why are renters left out? Because landlords decide what gets upgraded. jacobin.com/2026/04/decarb…

The fight for tenant power and worker power aren’t separate struggles—they are fundamentally intertwined. The same systems that keep wages low are the ones driving rents higher. Happy #MayDay There are events happening all over the state today: camayday2026.org

📊 🏘️ ❤️‍🩹 New survey by @HealthinPartnership on California renter health found that when renters face unreasonable rent increases and evictions, or housing insecurity due to ICE kidnappings, their physical and mental health suffers.

New enhanced eviction protections are now in effect across LA County, requiring renters be at least 2 months behind before eviction proceedings can begin. A small shift, but one that gives renters more breathing room in a crisis. dailynews.com/2026/04/16/enh…
