Tenants Together

We're defending immigrants and trans folks from housing discrimination. We’re opposing attacks on eviction notice requirements. We’re preparing Section 8 tenants just in case their vouchers are denied. But we need you! Chip in $5, $50 or what you can! actionnetwork.org/fundraising/do…

LA just took a major step to stop “renovictions”—landlords can no longer evict tenants just to do unnecessary remodels unless ordered by a government agency. A huge win for keeping renters housed! latimes.com/california/sto…

After the #EatonFire devastated Altadena, volunteers are racing to preserve survivors’ stories before they’re lost forever. Oral histories are helping document not just homes lost, but generations of memory and culture. This is powerful, essential work! laist.com/news/volunteer…

A powerful report from @PolicyLink on how rent control can stabilize millions of families, protect communities, and promote equity. Our very own @RyanJBell contributed to it! Essential reading for the tenant movement: policylink.org/resources/publ…

The @SacValleyTU is organizing tenants, fighting renovictions, and building multilingual community power to keep neighbors housed. Inspiring work in our state’s capital! 👏👏👏 capradio.org/articles/2025/…

Rest in Power Benito Flores. Benito reclaimed a vacant state-owned home in El Sereno to highlight the absurd cruelty of the housing crisis. He fought for a world where housing is a human right, and not a commodity. latimes.com/homeless-housi…

ICE raids have torn families apart in LA, leaving many households without income to pay rent. With no federal help, cities are turning to private donors for rent relief—but it’s still not enough. laist.com/news/housing-h…

Press conference this Friday! Stand with San Bernardino renters and raise awareness about the slumlords at Bridge Management! Renters deserve better than these unsafe conditions. ietu.org/bridge-managem…

Tenants Together stands with renters speaking out against notorious slumlord Mike Nijjar. Tenants describe horrific conditions (sewage, mold, infestations) while Nijjar treats fines as a “cost of doing business.” We won't let this injustice stand! sbsun.com/2025/07/11/ten…

Wildfire survivors aren’t just struggling to rebuild homes— they’re battling unaddressed trauma, too. Mental health services are overwhelmed, and recovery itself is adding to the stress. Community care is more urgent than ever! lapublicpress.org/2025/07/mental…

Rebuilding after wildfires is expensive, exhausting & full of pitfalls. Whether dealing with unscrupulous contractors or skyrocketing costs, it's essential for survivors to lean on community, plan carefully & practice self-care as they rebuild their lives. laist.com/news/climate-e…

Despite intense heatwaves, landlords have no legal duty to provide air conditioning to their rental properties. We need indoor temperature protections and enforcement NOW to keep tenants safe. laist.com/news/climate-e…

In Mexico City, residents are protesting gentrification driven by unsustainable tourism and a flood of digital nomads. We have to ask who actually benefits from tourism. Housing justice is global, and the fight is fierce! nytimes.com/2025/07/05/wor…

The @czi stopped funding housing work. One of the orgs they shifted from? Us 👀 “The message I received from CZI staff was very much that their hands were tied” - TT’s Lupe Arreola To be clear: we’re still fighting. We won’t stop.✊🏾 nytimes.com/2025/06/28/tec…

Cities across CA are pushing back on algorithm-driven rent hikes. From SF to Berkeley, lawmakers are banning software like @RealPage that lets landlords coordinate price increases & suppress vacancies (AKA #pricegouging). We need more of this! sacbee.com/news/californi…

Wildfires don’t just destroy houses, they leave lasting emotional scars. This guide shares how to support loved ones through the trauma of surviving a wildfire. A must-read: latimes.com/california/new…

The landlord tried to double their rent, so they went on strike! After nearly 5 years, tenants at Hillside Villa in LA’s Chinatown won big: slashed rent debt, locked-in affordable leases and no more pet fees. Organizing works! ✊✊🏽✊🏾 lapublicpress.org/2025/07/chinat…
