LIVE: Blackstone Tenants visiting the office Conrad Prebys Foundation to urge they intervene on behalf of the thousands of tenants whose lives they just put in the hands of @blackstone & urge Blackstone sign a good landlord community standards agreement!
@blackstone Currently our member is speaking to the Operations Director of Conrad Prebys Foundation about why we are here today
@blackstone And LIVE in Los Angeles outside of FPI Management, the same property management company that Blackstone hired in San Diego, to urge them to stop the harassment and evictions:
@blackstone Corporate landlords like Blackstone have bought out tens of thousands of properties across California in the past 2 years since the pandemic began - we must hold them accountable.
@AsmAutumnBurke we must pass #AB1199 to tax and hold corporate landlords accountable now!
Today, ACCE members & @Blackstone tenants from across California took action in San Diego, LA and San Francisco to say loud and clear: our homes are for families, not Wall Street speculators - & we will not be harassed, rent gouged or evicted from our homes without a fight!
In San Diego, Blackstone tenants with ACCE went to the Conrad Prebys Foundation to demand that their concerns be heard, after they sold over $1 BILLION worth in properties to @Blackstone this year, officially making Blackstone the third biggest landlord in San Diego.
Already, the tenants have faced rent increases, major health & safety issues, & attempts at eviction (which were only stopped once ACCE lawyers & press contacted Blackstone about it). The tenants are demanding Blackstone sign a good landlord community standards agreement.
LOS ANGELES: Illegal lock out is happening right now at 8989 South State St. in Southgate - please come to defend the tenants in support!
An elderly couple that has been in their home in Southgate in @Rendon63rd district for 39yrs had their home sold out from under them (sounds like dual tracking) by a shady real estate company-Strategic Fund 73 LLC.
There was no formal eviction process. This is illegal.
@Rendon63rd Evictions are carried out by sheriffs. But today @SouthGatePD showed up & removed the elderly family- locked them out of their house.
Why is Southgate PD doing evictions? And why did Officer Morales (car 98, badge 10218) not respond and walk away when tenant organizers arrived?
