Good evening! We're building tenant power tonight with @CanogaTenants! Join us: https://zoom.us/w/95276596510?tk=_-LsSslapN8iL2sRvewimJ8GxUIHi8u9jruKdnPVst4.DQIAAAAWLu19HhZEcjBic3VqNlJEdTh1WEh1U3RZSHN3AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&pwd=OXlPVFRxUkR4U0lNQktoMmU2akFudz09
We're sharing the highlights here so let's get started. @CaliCre8ive bringing you the action because the City won't #CancelRent
. @LATenantsUnion has 14 chapters that organize people against abusive landlords.
If you're unable to pay rent you're not alone & it's not your fault. #FoodNotRent highlights your struggle of the choice between sustenance and shelter #CancelRent
Check out the #FoodNotRent guide for more info in multiple languages. Includes template to send your landlord: https://foodnotrent.org/ #CancelRent
Know your rights as a tenant! Info via our friends @CanogaTenants
Attorney Nathaly Medina explains that sending a letter to your landlord is your best bet as a tenant who's unable to pay. You need to file an answer within five days if you receive a court summons from your landlord. #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
The @LASDHQ only has the legal authority, unfortunately, to lock you out. Your landlord doesn't have the authority to lock you out! #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
It's super important to document everything! Pictures, important documents, written or email correspondence - everything you can because the laws are against us tenants @CanogaTenants #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
Attorney Nathaly Medina says the way to end harassment is to ORGANIZE! #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
If you receive a three day notice - FIGHT IT! Send your landlord a letter because you have 12 months to repay for #COVID19 nonpayment #CancelRent
Nathaly says if you get a three day notice, take a breath. Use the resources you have. Eviction is a process, you have time to plan your next steps & reach out #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
It's illegal for your landlord to call immigration, lock you out, keep you from your belongings, turn off your electricity/water, etc. If this happens to you, get in touch with @LATenantsUnion immediately & document everything w/ time & date #CancelRent
Landlords will try to get you to self-evict because it costs them money to file an eviction in court #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
Participant explains their former apartment manager stole eviction notices from their mailbox so it was too late to respond

Is your building rent controlled? Most SFV apartments are in the City of LA & your landlord can't raise your rent right now if you're in a rent controlled unit #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
Attorney Nathaly Medina reiterates that only the @LASDHQ in its infinite wisdom can legally evict you #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
You do have the option to call the LAPD to report your abusive landlord...at your own risk. Probably not a safe thing for most people, tho. #DefundThePolice #CancelRent
If your landlord turns off your utilities, report to the health department 888-700-9995 email: [email protected]
Also, contact your City Council member @CD12LA @CD6Nury @BobBlumenfield & let them know because it's their job to help you! #CancelRent #FoodNotRent

. @CanogaTenants organizers have seen the LAPD escalate situations when the tenants weren't at faul. They've been criminalized for helping their neighbors stand up to illegal abuse! #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
The best defense against illegal eviction is rapid response! @CanogaTenants when we have people in your neighborhood ready to respond we win #WVOrganizing #CancelRent #FoodNotRent
