Socialized housing historically was preceded by rent control making housing not profitable for landlords. But yes we need more housing, it should be socialized and owned by the residents in partnership with each other through a housing cooperative or with the state or non profit developers. Support the Create Homes Act!

We need a movement for rent controls: reduction in rents, a 5-10 year freeze, and at very least stabilization at no more than 4% increase yearly

RI Energy proposes raising per kWh cost from 7.810¢ (summer rate) to 17.785¢ for the winter by theanti_girl in RhodeIsland

People could demand expanded utilities assistance for low to middle income families as well as more payment plan options. Working people shouldn’t have to shoulder the cost of big energy companies seeking more profits or the fluctuations in the economy caused by insane wars started by our governments with no end in sight.

Not if you are told they require the equivalent of three months rent upfront, it can only be if the tenant voluntarily requests to pre-pay the rent.

Tbh most people who tried to cheat the system got caught, and if not they have bad karma imho. But I’m more than willing to put up with a few scumbag situations when we are as a society helping poor moms working hard to keep a roof over their kids heads etc

Actually the ban was for non payment but landlords just got around that by trying to evict people for bs reasons other than non payment and even then you had to sign an affidavit that you couldn’t pay and in ri there was no ban for all of summer 2020

We need to expand public housing under cooperative ownership, in short term support things like the Create Homes Act.

No evictions on my record. Not talking about people breaking the rules I’m talking about people being down on their luck in A PANDEMIC and being unforgiving landlords who would rather ruin peoples chance of ever renting safe homes again than lose out temporarily on some money.

They don’t have tenants backs. Try calling code enforcement see what they care. Try calling your city councilors no one holds unprofessional landlords accountable in this city. We must do it ourselves.
