Victories
Cancel Rent Movement Wins Major Victory!
After nearly a year of fighting to cancel rent, the tenants' movement won a major victory with the passage of SB-91—the COVID tenant Relief Bill! SB 91 will forgive the unpaid rent of many, many renters who meet the income criteria for the program. If your landlord participates in the new program, your rent as a tenant will be forgiven by the state. If your landlord does not opt-in, then you as the tenant will be able to apply and receive the 25% of the back rent forgiven. While this is a huge step forward, there are some major loopholes in the program. We will continue the fight until we close the loopholes on the eviction moratoriums and rent forgiveness until all tenants are protected!
ACCE Endorsed Candidates Win Big Across California!
Despite the pandemic, active voter suppression tactics, and billions of dollars spent by dark real estate money to fight our agenda, we just elected an incredible slate of racial and economic justice champions across the state of California!
Of the dozens of candidates ACCE endorsed, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE WON! ACCE Action’s endorsement process prioritized candidates who support rent control and have vowed to never take money from big real estate or corporate landlords - and with a legislature dominated by toxic real estate money - this is a BIG DEAL!
Tenants Win a Rent Cap and Eviction Protections Across California!
The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (AB 1482) expands protections to 8 million tenants, covering more renters than any single tenant protection bill in recent US history! The bill bars landlords from rent-gouging tenants by capping rents at 5% plus inflation and stops unfair evictions.
