We lose affordable units to rent hikes as landlords seek to maximize their profits. The supply of low-cost units has been declining consistently for years, at a rate that WAY outpaces what we could possibly replace with new build. More via @ludwig_mike: truthout.org/articles/ahead-…

It's the rent, actually. @RebeccaJBurns_ on housing affordability in the midterms. The candidates who are the best on this issue are the ones who listen to tenants paying the highest rents they've ever paid for the worst conditions they've ever endured inthesetimes.com/article/its…

So basically a police officer committed deed theft. He did a welfare check on a senior, discovered they died then took over his house. This is why deed theft victims I’ve spoken with don’t trust police, judges or attorneys. That cop lived there for FOUR YEARS undetected 😐

People want action. Polling cited in the report found that 76% of U.S. residents support caps on rent increases. Tenants need political leaders willing to confront landlord power, protect our homes and invest in housing we can afford.

“The occupation that’s taken place has woken so many of us up to the fact that we are all part of what’s happening with this... It directly affects everyone. And so we’ve shown how community pulls together.” @inthesetimesmag on our historic strike drive: inthesetimes.com/article/ice…

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @GovTimWalz fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.
