Their utility bills skyrocketed, so they stopped paying them. Will the city change how these bills are calculated across LA? A city department recommends a ban for rent-stabilized units, but some tenants want one citywide. lapublicpress.org/2026/07/la-r...

Last Friday, TCSD and Labor Solidarity Action Network turned up to Elevate Commercial's listed corporate headquarters and demanded that its owner, Demetre Booker, Jr., come to the bargaining table and end 40% rent hikes and displacement of our fellow tenants in Idaho. We stand with Riviera Estates!

TCSD members and allies stand outside the doors to Elevate Commercial's listed corporate office chanting to demand that Elevate Commercial go the bargaining table. Signs state things like "Demetre Stop Rent Hikes", "San Diego Stands with Riviera Estates," "Stop Hurting Families," "Tenants Fight Against Greedy Landlords", and "Elevate Deez Nuts."Bild

Join TCSD on May 9th at 2:00 p.m. for a hangout and tenant organizing co-working session at the City Heights Library Community Room! We will be working on an event with an out-of-state union to shame a landlord living in San Diego, and on other projects. Bring your tenant organizing to-do list!

TCSD will be giving a tenant rights presentation on Saturday, March 7th, at 2:00 p.m. at the Weingart/City Heights Public Library (3795 Fairmount Ave, San Diego, CA 92105; the community room is on the second floor). All San Diegan tenants welcome! Learn why we must get organized!!

Sepia-toned flyer depicting a giant landlord in a Gilded Age style outfit sitting on top of an apartment complex and squashing it. Text reads: "Renters, don't get squeezed... Know your rights! Learning your rights and uniting with your neighbors is the only way to avoid the landlord squeeze." Remainder of text is comprised of the event details. The presentation will feature information on laws regarding illegal fees, changes to lease agreements, rent increases, habitability issues, eviction protections, and more! As always, the takeaway will be that the law is a tool but doesn't protect tenants enough, so we must get organized!!
