Sample Letter to the Editor for Renters Wealthy landlords and mobile home park owners are trying to pass Prop. 98 for their own financial gain. Prop. 98 is an attack on renters that would eliminate rent control and important protections for all California renters. Over one million Californians depend on rent control to survive, so abolishing it will have a tremendous impact. As scary as those numbers are, Prop. 98 would also jeopardize numerous laws that protect all 14 million California renters, including the fair return of rental deposits and laws protecting tenants from unfair and unjust evictions. It’s no surprise then that more than 85% of funding to put Prop. 98 on the ballot came from wealthy landlords and organizations representing them. They only care about abolishing rent control and renter protections so they can make more money at the expense of seniors, veterans, single moms, students and working families. Prop. 98 is nothing but a deceptive stealth attack on existing and future renters in California. Voters should vote a resounding ‘NO’ on Election Day. |
