Support state bill to strengthen renter protections and prevent homelessness
In Plain English
California homelessness rose 30% from 2017 to 2022, with visible increases in Richmond encampments. State Bill 567 would close loopholes in current tenant protection laws and lower rent increase caps. If passed, the bill provides stronger eviction protections for renters who currently face arbitrary removal or unaffordable rent hikes.
