A beloved Los Angeles bookstore is closing after its new landlord tried to raise the rent by more than 130%.
Whether it's tenants or small businesses, the story is the same: unchecked rent hikes displace communities and put profits over people.

The landlord lobby is powerful. But organized tenants are powerful too.
Across the South, renters are building movements, demanding stronger protections, and fighting for safe, stable housing. That's how change happens.

After 32 years, MA tenants may have a chance to bring #rentcontrol back. Renters collected 124,000 signatures to put rent stabilization on the ballot because housing should be affordable. When tenants organize, change is possible.

Affordable housing should be healthy, climate-resilient, and fossil fuel-free.
NYCHA plans to install 20,000 heat pumps and 10,000 induction stoves over the next 5 years—cutting costs, improving living conditions, and benefiting tenants.

When a landlord sells property, the people who already live there should have the first chance to buy.

Preserving and expanding permanently affordable housing is essential to keep longstanding communities in place.

In Los Angeles, AI is quietly deciding who gets housing and who doesn’t.
These opaque algorithms turn fragmented records into “risk” scores renters can’t see or fix, deepening an already severe housing crisis and shaping who gets to stay housed.

The California Attorney General’s Office says Merced’s rental inspection policy lacks clear timelines, repair requirements, and enforcement standards for substandard housing.
Safe housing cannot depend on a landlord’s discretion.

California added 677,000 new housing units in six years, yet housing costs keep rising.
That’s because the housing crisis was never just about housing supply. It’s also about the type of housing built and if people can actually afford it.

San Francisco recorded a 10-year high in evictions in 2025, and 2026 is already on pace to be worse.
Behind every eviction is a person or family being uprooted, displaced, and forced to rebuild their lives.

Mobile home residents on fixed incomes are being squeezed by corporate landlords. One 91-year-old California senior saw her rent jump from $297 to $995. We need rent control for mobile homes before more seniors are pushed toward homelessness. kqed.org/news/12079706/theyr…

Soaring rents and unsafe housing aren’t isolated problems. They’re the result of a system that puts profit over people.
Tenant unions are how renters are building collective power to fight back.

Rebecca Solnit reminds us that despair grows when we forget that ordinary people create change through collective action over time. For tenants, housing crises aren’t inevitable—they’re political choices that can be changed through organizing & resistance.

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.
