Action & Rally to #RepealCostaHawkins & Demand #RealRentControl NOW

Meet-up at 11:30am on the front steps of SF’s City Hall
(please be on time; group will be leaving around 11:45 to a nearby location (walkable from City Hall). Follow us on Twitter @stopsfevictions for location updates.)

Tenants are taking action to demand an end to the evictions and rent gouging that are destroying their health, livelihoods and futures. Join them in the fight to close the loopholes in our rent-control laws that leave them unprotected or that incentivize speculators to force out long-time tenants in order to jack up prices to luxury/market rates. Our seniors, families, workers, children, disabled folks and vulnerable residents can’t wait any longer while greedy speclator landlords profit off their displacement.

*Costa Hawkins is the main state law that incentivizes landlords to harass and push out long-time tenants to spike the rents to rates most of us can’t afford.

This law legalizes a landlord’s ability to raise rents on vacant units…that is, when someone moves out, the landlord can jack up the rent, and when a master tenant moves out, subtenants are left unprotected. It also restricts rent controlled units in SF to units that were built on or before 1979 and does not allow for rent control on single family homes or condos. We need to repeal Costa Hawkins NOW!
