The Autonomous Tenant Union Network (ATUN) is hosting an informational call - “LLC Landlordism and the Eviction Machine” - and it’s open for all tenants and organizers! Starting in 5 minutes:

Spanish language interpretation is available for the event!

Apparently LLCs have only existed since 1977. Wyoming was the first state to introduce them

The presentation is based on a capstone research project into predatory landlord behavior and the tactics used by landlords to retaliate against tenants

A network map of the 171 LLCs (operating more than 3,000 rental units) owned by a single person

The recording in English (and I believe Spanish) will be available after the presentation. I will share them when I have them available.
