Over 100 people attended the Just Cause press conference last week. As a result there are THREE Just Cause bills put forward this legislative session, and a 4th expected!!

SB996
HB6348 (Southington’s Rep. Martinez!!)
SB988
The 4th is expected from the housing committee.

They’re similar in a lot of ways, but have some key language differences that affect tenants. Let win this!

We are extremely please to share that the bill we have been advocating for, which would prevent landlords from evicting good tenants without cause, has been sponsored by Southington representative Rebecca Martinez! THANK YOU for listening tenants and property owners in Southington and for sponsoring this necessary legislation!

TOMORROW at 10AM we are launching our campaign to pass Just Cause eviction protections at the Legislative Office Building!

Members of the press and Joint Chairs of the Housing Committee, Representative Felipe and Senator Marx will be joining us. It's a crucial moment in our campaign to show lawmakers how many of us want a system that supports its residents rather than make them vulnerable to homelessness!

Market rates ≠ affordable. This is the opposite of what Wallingford (and Southington) need! Any new housing built must be permanently affordable. Anything else is a waste of undeveloped lots or open space.

REMINDER: Souothington does NOT have to wait for the State to take action to protect tenants from eviction. By a vote of 7-2, Rochester City Council has voted to adopt the strongest version of Good Cause eviction protections, the largest city in New York to opt into the law.

It is a failure of Southington's town leaders that this is not being considered!

More housing is needed, certainly, but Southington cannot continue to restrict all new development to solely senior housing. We need to build affordable housing for the working class and young families too!

Winter Grove tenants have been dealing with ongoing mold in their HVAC system for years. Instead of remediating it, Winter Grove management taped up the air vents, leaving tenants with no heat in the winter and AC in the summer. We are talking to renters at the 40-unit complex this Saturday to share information about our Fair Rent Commission and provide resources for tenants to organize and fight collectively for safer living conditions!

WATCH: Wealthy developer Mike Riccio tells his friends on the Southington Planning & Zoning Commission to not bother trying to make Southington a more affordable place to live. He wants the Town to IGNORE the State's (very moderate) affordable housing law to protect his and other developer's profits. Their motives are one thing: to make money. Keeping Southington unaffordable is how they do it.
