I don't have Instagram but many folks in #Tacoma & #SouthSound do. This vid from #TacomaForAll debunks the disinfo scare tactics being used by the #Corporate #Slumlord lobby here to kill a #RentersRights measure on #nov3 ballot
Vote #YesOnInitiative1 to force the #CityOfTacoma to *enforce* the #TenantsRights initiative we ALREADY PASSED & THE CITY IS FAILING TO ENFORCE
Despite federal government moves to ease the #HousingCrisis homelessness remains on the rise and a seeious problem for our lives and communities. Councils moving people on and not ensuring safe soaces a major concern. #RentersRights upheld and #RentCaps needed. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

One year since the City of Toronto implemented a bylaw to prevent bad-faith evictions for renovations, tenant lawyers say calls about “renovictions” have been reduced to nearly zero.

That's pretty cool. Some good work from Olivia Chow and the progressive block on Toronto City Council. Hopefully she gets reelected rather than some jerk like Bradford.
No locals as the renters have been pushed out. Apparently because of the AirBnB rent seeking local businesses who want staff end up without them as there’s nowhere they can work that covers the rent on their wages. Greedy landlords are KILLING AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY. #auspol #rentersrights #workers
📉🏠 Apparently, renters are now as rooted as century-old oak trees, thanks to the enlightening insights of the New York Fed! 🤔🔍 Who knew that data, #statistics, and a sprinkle of economic jargon could reveal that people just don't feel like packing boxes anymore? 🎁📦

"#Labour has loosened planning rules on the housing market – including to categorise industrial green-belt land as “grey belt” to allow construction. The government has also introduced the Renters’ Right Act, which banned no-fault evictions, fixed-term tenancies and loopholes that allowed discrimination against families, pet owners and people on benefits."

Great News, #Tacoma #Housing Advocates!
#TacomaForAll #SafeHomes Initiative clears hurdle to be on #NovemberMidterms ballot codifying:
All this talk of #housing #Budget2026.
Isn’t it staggering how not one politician or media outlet is talking about protecting #RentersRights?
#RuleOfLaw should be fully operational protecting the people doing it toughest. We should be looking after people better. #auspol #Shame

The ACLU sued a landlord for forcing AI surveillance into tenants' homes.
This isn't a dystopia. It's just a Friday.
Your rental is watching you. Here's how to lock them out.

Your lease didn't just rent you a roof. It rented you a node in a network.
Smart locks, thermostats, and water sensors are logging your life to the cloud. And you didn't consent.
Episode 25: The "Smart Building" trap & how to fight back.

You chose the smart vacuum. You didn't choose the smart lock on your front door.
One you can unplug. The other? You're forced to use it. You can't swap it for a dumb deadbolt. You can't opt out. It's in the lease.
Your home shouldn't be a surveillance tool you can't turn off.

Your smart lock doesn't just open your door. It opens a database your landlord has access to.
Every entry. Every exit. Every guest. Timestamped and stored forever.
And you didn't even choose the brand.
It's not all hopeless though. There are ways to push back. Listen to episode 25, and join the resistance

Your landlord doesn't just own the walls. They own the data.
Smart locks. Thermostats. Water sensors. They are logging your comings, goings, and habits to the cloud. And you didn't choose them.
Stop renting a surveillance node. Start reclaiming your sanctuary.

The arbitration of #RentersRights needs to be taken over by federal courts and away from a Tribunal set up. Renters rights aren’t being upheld right across the country. Alongside the affordability is an exploitation and abuse crisis. #housing #auspol

Real estate companies are run by unscrupulous weasels. We're in a snowstorm and the heating keeps cutting out with an 11-month-old in the house. I've complained multiple times and they always manage to dodge responsibility.
Anyone know how to break a shitty lease? Anyone renting a 2BR in Cambridge?
Either way, avoid Skyline Realty at all costs.
Thank you Mike. All support is 100% appreciated. The more who support the right actions being taken at the right time the better too. Australia has a #HousingCrisis and #RentersRights have needed greater protection. #auspol
Filed against the real estate today, for clear and obvious retaliatory behaviour, falling well within a month from the dismissal of their spurious and defamatory case against me: fully rebutted. I am asking for them to be referred to Fair Trading for licence revocation. #qldpol #RentersRights
Labour's Renters' Rights Reforms Face Scrutiny Amid Delays and Landlord Concerns

New laws to protect renters in the UK are coming, but some parts will take time. This means people in bad homes might not get help right away. Landlords are concerned about the new rules and may increase rent.

Bộ Công Thương ban hành quy định mới: Chủ nhà trọ không được thu tiền điện vượt quá mức ghi trên hóa đơn. Nếu người thuê nhà không ký hợp đồng điện trực tiếp với đơn vị cung cấp, tổng số tiền điện thu từ người thuê phải thấp hơn hoặc bằng hóa đơn thanh toán. Quy định nhằm bảo vệ người tiêu dùng, tránh lạm thu gây bức xúc.

"After #LosAngeles moved to significantly lower yearly increases in most of the city’s apartments, some City Council members now want to change the rules again. This time, they’re hoping to give small landlords the ability to raise rents more than their corporate counterparts."
Governments are finally pushing back — another Aussie city is cracking down on Airbnb and short-term rentals, forcing investors to rethink the “easy money” model.
Property should be for homes, not profit-machines. These reforms show that some leaders are prioritising the long-term housing needs of people, not just the wealthy few who view homes as cash cows.

"Here are five headline measures that will be coming into effect:
* Not only will no-fault evictions end, but tenants will be able to stay in their home until they decide to leave as ‘fixed-term assured tenancies’ are removed
* Ending unlimited advance rent payments
* Helping tenants challenge rent hikes
* Ending blanket pet bans
* Ending rent bidding wars"

A fridge for every apartment in #California, thanks to a new law
Renters rights and the money behind them must be shown respect. This is nothing more than a controlled and abusive system. The rule of law has been abrogated for the rule of he who owns more. Not good. #ruleoflaw #HousingCrisis #auspol #RentersRights #PovertyKills #PovertyIsInequality
#RentersRights #auspol #HousingForAll @ClareONeilMP 🏡 Let’s also insist on the minimum housing standards being met before any rental is leased.
Renters rights are human rights, and if investors want respect - isn’t it time they started to respect the people they make their profits from? I thought this was law in Australia. But what good are laws that aren’t enforced? 🤨 #RentersRights #auspol #AffordableHousing #HousingStandards #health
