I have an idea for this.

Just ban tenant screenings entirely.

#cashgetskeys

I've discussed it with lots of landlords and they all said they would sell if they can't cherry-pick their tenants.

Sounds like a win to me.

Slavery never went away, it only changed shapes.

I would go further and compare all poverty-wage labor to slavery in the sense that it is involuntary and coerced through threats of violence.

Homelessness is violence. Homelessness exists as a threat to the working class.

It is time for the landlord gravy-train to come to an end.

#housing is a human right, not a risk to be assessed and mitigated.

Next week I will be attending a tenants union meeting to push the idea of a local ballot initiative to ban tenant screenings.

Corporate Landlord greed is pushing the homelessness crisis and we need to ban all forms of tenant screenings.

Please get involved in your local government.

Start a ballot initiative to ban tenant screenings in your local community.

The excessive profits of corporate landlords are creating homelessness.

They are padding profit margins at the expense of the taxpayers.

Yes!

More importantly, landlords use credit checks as a cover for discrimination.

I've worked in real-estate before, and have been pushing the idea of banning screenings for years.

Landlords usually say they would sell if they couldn't do screenings.

I say, please do.

The risk of a lengthy eviction is the landlords cross to bear.

We definitely need to work on some ballot initiatives to ban credits checks and background checks for housing.

Renters pay upfront, and pay a deposit, so screenings are not justifiable.

It's a tool for discrimination and price-inflation, and we need to ban them.

Damn right it does.

We are the law!

The voters can decide on absolutely anything by creating ballot initiatives.

Let's stop protecting wealthy investors and ban tenant screenings!

Why do we protect investors more than renters?

Investors claim they deserve profits for taking risks, so make them actually take risks.

We need to ban tenant screenings and force landlords to accept anyone with a deposit check, even if it's a voucher.

I still want to see a ban on tenant screenings.

There is no good reason to protect landlords beyond a security deposit.

Part of the reason I have proposed tenant screening bans is that it restores risk for landlords, making it impossible to guarantee a precise return on investment.

This will cause investors to sell. Flooding the market with affordable housing.

#CashGetsKeys

It will also solve homelessness.

Start a local ballot initiative in your town to block tenant screenings and ensure everyone has access to housing.

The DOJ filed a lawsuit last year over this illegal price-fixing scheme, however the incoming administration will probably drop it.

We need to take matters into our own hands. Launch a ballot initiative in your town to ban all forms of tenant screenings.

Cash alone will not end homelessnsss.

We must also ban tenant screenings.

Why are we protecting landlords beyond a security deposit? 🤷‍♂️

Also... $750 per month?!

In Los Angeles?!

Are you fucking kidding me?!

What if the city banned tenant screenings to reduce homelessness?

Why should landlords get to check credit and backgrounds when they also require a deposit and upfront rent payment?

Force landlords to accept whoever shows up first with the cash.

They collect at the start of the month, so we're prepaying, and they collect a deposit. 🤷‍♂️

Cities that are mostly renters (poor cities) are going to jump at voting against screenings.

It literally creates homelessness and enables slumlords.
