All tenants need to learn what their rights are, and first time renters are the most vulnerable. Come learn about how to find and stay in your home, get your needs met, and get connected with ITU! 💪

Biden calls for 5% rent caps. This is the third such call, and the most specific. Good, but tenants need immediate action, not just talk. POTUS could cap rents in the millions of units with federally-backed loans ASAP and he should.

The rent is too damn high. Most Americans spend more on rent than anything else. The majority of poor tenants spend at least half of their income on housing, 27% spend over 70%. Something's gotta give. People need rent caps.

Ithaca's Common Council passes Good Cause Eviction Law by an 8-2 vote. Mayor @RGC_NYS calls it "a resounding victory for housing fairness, housing stability, and a fair deal for landlord-tenant relations." 14850.com/071137312-good-cau…

Huge congrats to the @ithacaTU activists, ITU endorsees, and Mayor @RGC_NYS on a major victory for tenants rights tonight.
ITU: renters in Ithaca like me owe you so much gratitude for your tireless work advocating on our behalf in court, in chambers, and in the streets.

This isn't the first time @ithacaTU has made history.
Last year, Ithaca Tenant Union elected a TENANT MAJORITY to their Common Council -- a first in Ithaca history!
Now that renter majority council is delivering for their constituents with #GoodCause.

Ithaca is now the FOURTH City to opt into #GoodCause -- under the strongest terms possible, covering nearly every Ithaca renter.
@GovKathyHochul tried to leave upstate out. But upstate tenants are organized. We're winning the protections we deserve.

From 2021 to 2024.
From the streets of Ithaca to the campaign trail to City Hall.
The tenants of Ithaca transformed an apathetic, majority owner council into a progressive, tenant majority government that put them first.
A Better World is Possible- if we organize for it.

The vote was 8-2, with Margaret Fabrizio and David Shapiro voting against protecting tenants from discriminatory evictions and price-gouging rent hikes.
See our public comment coverage in this thread:

🏡🗳️ We’re here at the council vote for Good Cause tenant protections in Ithaca!
Tenants deserve a right to stay in our homes and communities, free from threats, retaliation, and discrimination. After 3 years of tenants organizing — it’s time for Council to pass Good Cause.
