ICYMI: Corporate landlords have the billions. We have the people power. A global people-power movement will protect tenants and rein in predatory landlords.

We applaud the King County Council in Washington for banning rent-fixing software. To protect hard-working tenants, more elected leaders across the country need to do the same!

Our friends in the Netherlands should know that Greystar has spent big money to stop the expansion of rent control in California. It's also been entangled the rent-fixing scandal involving RealPage software and the collusion of its corporate clients.

EXCLUSIVE: A global people-power movement is needed to fight predatory corporate landlords and urgently address the worldwide housing affordability crisis. Read our important article!

As this excellent op-ed points out, rent-burdened tenants feel abandoned by the YIMBY movement, especially when YIMBYs work with Big Real Estate to kill tenant protections. YIMBY = Big Real Estate #IDHABY (I Don’t Have A Backyard)

Now Big Real Estate is saying that virtually all tenant protections are bad for business. It's self-serving nonsense -- and top economists have explained why. Read our article.

"In California, the most expensive housing market in the country, investors own one in five homes, and research has shown that investor-owned properties have higher rents and eviction rates and shoddier maintenance upkeep."

Scotland needs strong rent control. The rent is too damn high!

"Experts say Lennar is doing this to juice home sales and steer business toward its lucrative in-house mortgage lender — at the expense of consumers, who are being boxed out of homeownership and forced to pay ever-higher home and rental costs."

Yet another sign that the rent is too damn high! We need rent control and more affordable housing.

Rent control is the only way to rein in predatory corporate landlords that are fueling the global housing affordability crisis.

Many of the largest corporate landlords in the country work closely with the California Apartment Association to kill tenant protections throughout California. They want to keep charging unfair, sky-high rents -- no matter who gets hurt.

We urge Providence Mayor Brett Smiley to reconsider his position on rent stabilization. There are plenty of studies that show rent stabilization will bring urgent relief to tenants and that Big Real Estate's anti-rent regulations arguments are outdated and wrong. www.wpri.com/target-12/ho...

More news about our work to bring more power to the Barclay Hotel so we can provide 94 units of low-income and homeless housing. The DWP must urgently address this situation as unhoused people die on LA's streets.

Equity Residential, Essex Property Trust, and AvalonBay Communities are the corporate landlords targeting Black tenants. It's inexcusable!

Great coverage about our demand for the DWP to bring more power to the Barclay Hotel so we can provide 94 units of affordable and homeless housing. The DWP has been dragging their heels for years. Give it a listen!

Yesterday, we went to LA City Hall, demanding that the LA DWP give more power to the Barclay Hotel so we can provide 94 units of low-income housing. LA is facing a homelessness crisis, but the DWP refuses to act. Ask your City Council member to tell the DWP to give the Barclay more power.

We need more power at the Barclay Hotel so we can urgently give people housing in 94 low-income units. But the LA DWP refuses to act as people die homeless in the streets. The DWP must bring more power to the people! #LADWP #homelessness

Seven people die homeless every day in LA. But the LA DWP refuses to urgently give more power to the Barclay Hotel so we can house people in 94 units. It's a disgrace. The LA DWP must give power to the people! #ladwp #homelessness

The LA DWP must bring more power to the Barclay Hotel so we can use 94 units for affordable & homeless housing. We're at LA City Hall asking for help. It's a disgrace that the DWP refuses to take urgent action during the homelessness crisis. #ladwp #losangeles #homelessness

The scandal around billionaire corporate landlord Steve Schwarzman has turned into an international news story. Rightly so. But reporters should also look into the fact that his company has fueled the global housing affordability crisis, per the United Nations.

"Across the U.S., tenant unions have been exploding in growth and visibility. Thousands of tenants — from Los Angeles to Kansas City, from Chicago to Connecticut — have unionized in recent years." Exciting!

"California YIMBY has a lot of explaining to do. While middle- and working-class tenants struggle to pay sky-high rents, wealthy tech executives and venture capitalists are spending big to help California YIMBY kill tenant protections."

Billionaire corporate landlord Steve Schwarzman is in the news again. And once again, it's something shady that only benefits his lavish lifestyle.

Fantastic to see tenants in Kansas City joining forces with tenants in Michigan, Connecticut, and Kentucky to hold a corporate landlord accountable! We must band together across the country to push back against predatory corporate landlords.

Billionaire Steve Schwarzman got rich by charging outsized rents all over the world, fueling a global housing affordability crisis. So while people are struggling to pay the rent, he's supersizing his mansion in England. Enough is enough. Rent control now!

A new survey shows over 60% of Americans now view affordable housing positively, with more open to living near it. As housing costs climb, public perception is shifting—and so is the conversation. @newyorkpost.bsky.social nypost.com/2025/08/26/r...

Homelessness won’t be solved by sweeps or punitive crackdowns. Real progress comes from what works: Housing First, rental aid, and supportive services. Invest in outcomes—not optics. www.governing.com/management-a...

Once again, a corporate landlord is pushing people out of their homes so it can jack up rents for new tenants. And once again, California YIMBY & YIMBY Action will say NOTHING. Strong tenant protections is the only way to rein in predatory landlords.

Stable, affordable housing is essential for the health of Americans and our society as a whole. Read this very important op-ed.

Yet another article about a corporate landlord charging shady fees to squeeze every last cent out of renters. Politicians must do a better job of protecting hard-working Americans against predatory corporate landlords.

From Africa to North America to Europe, people are facing a global housing affordability crisis. Predatory landlords are driving that crisis by charging unfair, excessive rents.

Disgraceful. It's great to see the city of Santa Monica take action and hold the landlord to account. smmirror.com/2025/09/sant...

Fantastic victory for tenants throughout California!
