I do not think it is fair that we do not get our RENT REBATE, for 2 year straight. A lots of us depends on it to make end meet. THANK YOU.
Legislative victories/defeats
Balancing Budget Has Its Costs

The renter's rebate is necessary for the older people on social security or on a fixed income and it is ridiculous to put a stop to!!!! What, are you a nut!
Momentum Grows to Save the Renters Rebate

Extreme rent increases each year virtually utilizing most of our retirement income from Social Security. No consideration of other cost of living increases such as Gasoline, Insurance, Health Care (especially prescription medicines), and Food.

Dear Governor S.,
My name is David Lee Frater. I am a disabled 55 year old man who has been disabled for the last 6 years. I used to be a principal systems analyst, the rank above a senior systems analyst, for all of my adult life after college before I became disabled. I worked, and worked very hard for nearly 30 years before becoming disabled.
Predatory Equity
We lost the legislative battle but won the fight to get CalPERS to divest from predatory equity schemes like Page Mill's evictions in East Palo Alto.
Isla Vista Tenants Union
The best way for tenants to contact us is to schedule a consultation through our website or send us an email.
We are a student run organization that primarily focuses on tenant education and legal counseling.
Isla Vista Tenants Union challenges and transforms unjust housing conditions and housing policies through empowerment-based education, leadership development, and grassroots community organizing.
Mary Luz
I experienced discrimination in housing because of my family size and my daughter's and my own disability. I also had problems with mold in my apartment that the landlord didn't want to take care of. Tenant Organizing is important because people need to know what their rights are and to learn how to keep their housing. Through my circumstances I learned how to fight back and educate my neighbors to defend their rights and go to the right agencies before they lose their housing.
Inquilinos Unidos
Inquilinos Unidos (United Tenants) empowers low-income Los Angeles tenants through community organizing, education and advocacy. We also work on legislative efforts, tenant rights training and strategy planning, and class action or taxpayer lawsuits to address the most egregious housing violations.
IU offers Tenant Resource Clinics at its office on Mondays from 4:00 to 6:30 pm, as well as walk-in services on Wednesday and Friday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Tenants may also call the IU office and leave a message for call-back assistance.
