Housing Forum Addresses Renter Crisis in Santa Cruz County

With housing as a hot topic in Santa Cruz, Saturday’s forum on housing education by the Santa Cruz Tenant Organizing Committee drew a handful of invested renters.

Taking place in the Service Employees International Union Hall on Mission Street, the forum focused on tenant rights. The group was founded a few months earlier by UC Santa Cruz students, though that is the extent of the group’s affiliation with the university. With affordable housing becoming harder to find in the city and county, part of the ire fell onto UCSC students, many of whom live in the area.

The 4 units in our building received a 40% and 65% increase within a 60 day period directly after the sale of our building in June of this year. Bailey Property Management offered us $2900.00 plus our security deposit back to leave the apartment 'immediately'. We could not accept their offer because we had no place to go to and we had no way of leaving in such short notice. They responded by serving me with a 3 day notice to quit on the @nd of September, only 24 hours after Sept. 1.

My issue is more general and a common frustration among people like myself, who make too much money to qualify for "affordable housing" but not enough to afford the rising rents.
