BREAKING: City Controller Ron Galperin on record

BREAKING:

City Controller Ron Galperin on record at a public meeting saying we have always had the cash flow to house people in hotels.

Despite having $10 billion in our treasury at any given time, Mayor Garcetti and City Council have refused to touch the 100% reimbursable FEMA money!!!

Joe Buscaino and his Comms Director were caught berating a @streetwatchla at an encampment across the city from their district. This is shockingly inappropriate behavior from @JoeBuscaino’s Comms Director towards a member of the public. If you want to file a complaint regarding this conduct, email mayor.helpdesk@lacity.org.

From @latenants toolkit: STOP landlord harassment

From @latenants toolkit:
STOP landlord harassment!:
Illegal entry into rental unit
Raising rent without proper notice
Verbal or physical intimidation and threatening
Removing amenities included in lease agreement (parking, washer/dryer)
Shutting off utilities
Improper notice of entry, eviction, and nonpayment of rent
Refusing to do repairs/maintenance
Removing possession from units
Filing false charges against tenant
Refusing to accept/acknowledge proper payment of rent
Threatening to disclose tenant immigration status

WHAT DOES THE ORDINANCE DO? The Permanent Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance protects tenants in the city of Los Angeles from landlord harassment. Landlords use tactics such as harassment to displace tenants. This is especially important in rent-controlled units where a landlord may be incentivized to displace a tenant and raise rent once the tenant leaves. The proposed Permanent Tenant Anti Harassment Ordinance would do the following:
Prohibit harassment (as listed above)
Provide an affirmative defense for tenants in evictions when the landlord has engaged in harassment.
Provide tenants with a private right of action where they may obtain injunctive, relief, damages, and costs.
Provide courts with the discretion to impose a penalty of up to $10,000 and a separate $5,000 penalty for violations of the ordinance against the elderly or tenants with disabilities.
Make violations of the ordinance a misdemeanor

HOW TO SUPPORT?: An ordinance has been drafted and now needs to be passed. Provide your comments at the Housing Committee to pass Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance. Support Council Member Nithya Raman’s amendments.

Mayor Garcetti and City Council had the money all along to shelter everyone in hotels. Instead, they are now focused on tiny sheds and criminalization as the main tools to erase homelessness from public view.
