This morning, tenants w/Clayton Crossing Unidos in Concord picketed their apt complex.
Hundreds of tenants there face an imminent rent increase, as much as $200.
Many are thousands in debt. The landlords are refusing to budge. This is an eviction bomb.

Clayton Crossings has habitability issues—leaky pipes, piling garbage, moldy carpets, etc.
Many tenants have lost their jobs, others are thousands behind on bills, everyone is struggling.
Yet landlords want *more rent* in the middle of the pandemic. This can& #39;t happen.

Here& #39;s Alma: “I suffer from insomnia, headaches, hair loss, just by thinking about when they will evict me like the property management has threatened me in the past. I already owe $8,000 in rent. How are they able to raise the rent when we can’t even pay?"
And Brenda w/her, who& #39;s paying for repairs b/c the landlord won& #39;t: “My husband lost his job. Since then, we had to use the limited savings we did have to be able to pay for our rent & other household expenses during this time. Now, our landlord has raised our rent."
And Aleida, who lost her job & is the single mother of an 11-year-old, & who can only work after her daughter& #39;s virtual school day: “I am left stressing out about how I will pay my rent, bills and finding a babysitter to take care of my daughter if I find work."
There are hundreds of stories like this, people receiving no meaningful aid from the gov. & definitely no sympathy from their landlords.
We& #39;re demanding that they stop their rent increase during the pandemic. This is about survival for tenants, not extra rent for landlords.
