Gothamist: New Jersey restricts rent-setting algorithms amid rising housing costs. “The law, called the FAIR Act, prohibits certain types of sensitive data — including rental prices, housing supply, occupancy levels and lease termination dates — from being used to inform rent-setting algorithms. It also bars landlords from coordinating to raise rents in parallel. The law will take effect […]

Following mixed feedback and extended discussions, City Council voted to prohibit the use of Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS), in which tenants in a multi-unit complex can be billed flat rates for utilities rather than by exact usage. Ken Der has the details. https://alamedapost.com/news/council-bans-ratio-utility-billing-systems-amends-alameda-marina-development/

10,000 households in New York City went on rent strike, demanding a reduction in prices of around 20%. Rents in the area, the then-working class Lower East Side, had increased in cost by a third over the previous two years.
The action was sparked by 16-year-old Lithuanian Jewish textile worker Pauline Newman, who worked at the #TriangleShirtwaistFactoryhttps://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9988/lower-east-side-rent-strike

#Landlords gouge victims of #LAFires
by Judd Legum and Noel Sims, Jan 14, 2025
"The devastating fires in Los Angeles have killed 24 people. The fires have burned tens of thousands of acres, and hundreds of thousands of #Angelenos have been forced to evacuate. The blaze has destroyed at least 12,000 structures and thousands of people have nowhere to live.
"For most people, this is a horrific tragedy. But numerous landlords in the area are treating it as a #MoneyMaking opportunity.
"A review of rental listings revealed dozens of properties where the landlords have sharply increased their prices since the fires began on January 7. Popular Information used Zillow to identify rental homes in communities near the areas impacted by the fires — including #PacificPalisades, #SantaMonica, #ManhattanBeach, #HuntingtonBeach, and the #SanFernandoValley — that have increased their asking price over the last week.
"While not every rent increase is evidence of #exploitation, the timing and scale of many increases strongly suggest #PriceGouging is occurring.
"In Manhattan Beach, for example, Popular Information identified a five-bedroom home listed on December 31, 2024, for $8,750 per month. By Monday, the rent was bumped up 125 percent to $19,750 monthly.
"But it is not only luxury properties with ocean views whose prices have skyrocketed in the last week.
"A three-bedroom home in #Tujunga, listed for $4,100 on December 28, was increased to $8,500 on January 7, the day the Pacific Palisades fire broke out, 93 percent higher than its initial listing price."

Revenge of the #Renter
Hundreds of #tenants, struggling to afford skyrocketing rents, are refusing to pay their #landlords at all. They call it a #RentStrike. The landlords say it’s illegal. An inside look at the frontier of a growing #ClassWar
Jason McBride November 9, 2023
"33 King was an inexpensive, aging highrise, but it was a bastion of affordability in a city that seemed to grow more expensive every year. In 2010, the couple moved into a two-bedroom apartment on the top floor that rented for less than $1,000. Two years later they had their first child, Xavier. [Their rent initially was $700 a month. It has more than doubled!]
"Then, in 2013, the landlord, a company called Realstar, informed Henry that her rent was going up that year by 5.5 per cent. She was confused. 33 King was rent-controlled—increases were capped in 2013 at 2.5 per cent. But there was a loophole: in Ontario, landlords can apply for what’s called an above guideline increase, or #AGI, to make major repairs. Realstar fixed the roof and elevators that year, so Henry thought it might be a one-off. When it happened again the next year, with an increase of 3.8 per cent, well above that year’s 0.8 per cent guideline, she and her neighbours were incensed. They’d long talked about deteriorating conditions in the building and regular maintenance that seemed to go undone. Some felt the AGIs were simply a way for #Realstar to boost the value of its asset by squeezing extra money out of its tenants.
"In 2017, Henry started working on the assembly line at a Chrysler plant in nearby Brampton, and became a member of Unifor. It was the first time she’d joined a union, and it was exciting to be part of a group of people banding together to fight for their rights. Energized by that experience, in 2018, she helped form a tenants’ association at 33 King to fight future AGIs. Still, they kept coming—in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
That year, a company called #DreamUnlimited, a #realestate giant with $23 billion worth of assets, bought 33 King. Because the 2019 and 2021 AGIs were still pending approval by Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board, or LTB, Dream inherited the applications. Henry and other tenants wasted no time making their feelings about them known to the new owners. Working with the York South-Weston #TenantUnion, or YSWTU—an umbrella organization for 13 tenants’ associations in the area—they staged protests, called Dream’s president, Michael Cooper, and went to the media in a bid to have the AGIs cancelled.
"The movement hasn’t come without consequences. Dream has initiated eviction proceedings for more than 70 tenants at 33 King, and Starlight has started them for 75 in Thorncliffe Park. More are likely to come, but the strikers have remained resolute, the fear of losing their homes outweighed by the impossibility of continuing the status quo.
"Their fights are just beginning. Tenant #activism is flaring across the country as renters face skyrocketing rents and deteriorating living conditions in the most brutal #housing market in memory. Whatever their outcome, the Toronto rent strikes are the latest, loudest volley in a brewing class war."

As much as #Monopoly sucks because it’s a game of chance, my kids learned about #capitalism, how wealth is more a function of luck & circumstance, and why #landlords are amongst the most worthless people in existence.
Which is exactly what its inventor #ElizabethMagie planned: “[she] originally intended The Landlord's Game to illustrate the economic consequences of Ricardo's Law of #economicRent and the Georgist concepts of #economicPrivilege and land value taxation.”

Thanks for t stories. It really is #grift all the way down. We think a #UBI based on % of national income is better than #grants.Adjusted slightly for age, importance of #agricultural regions. Should probably go up and down slightly like waves on a beach, to make it impossible for #landlords to engineer #rents targetted at it. Literally each year, waves are televised and used to set the payments.
