Residents at the Linda Vista Park View Apartment Complex, owned by Michael Contreras of San Diego*, are being evicted after a filing grievances and protesting poor living conditions and rent increases in their complex. Members of the complex had taken their complaints against code violations and exorbitant rent increases public after being repeatedly ignored by property management.

 

In response to the protests, a recently announced rent increase of $500 was retracted by property management. At the same time, the families of Susana Garcia and Amir Gallegos were served eviction notices. Both tenants have been active in bringing attention to the numerous code violations in their apartments and protesting exorbitant rent increases while facing inaction on repairs.

 

Retaliating against tenants for asking for repairs is illegal. California State law -Cal. Civ. Code § 1942.5- prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants. It is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant in California who has exercised a legal right, including:

 

·         complaining to the landlord about unsafe or illegal living conditions

·         complaining to a government agency, such as a building or health inspector, about unsafe or illegal living conditions assembling and presenting your views collectively—for example, by joining or organizing a tenant union, or

·         exercising a legal right allowed by your state or local law, such as withholding the rent for an uninhabitable unit.

 

A coalition of tenants from the complex, lawyers, housing rights advocates, and community supporters will be holding a press conference to discuss the case and announce a lawsuit against the property owner. Speakers will also address the need for code enforcement and rent control to keep San Diego families in safe and affordable homes. A rally and march will precede the press conference.

 

Speakers to include:

 

Susana Garcia -- Tenant facing eviction

Amir Gallegos – Tenant facing eviction

Hemelo Garcia – Tenant at Park View Apartments

Pedro Rios – Human rights activist

Christian Abasto – Tenants' rights lawyer

Rafael Bautista – San Diego Tenants United

Trump's Local Congressional Tag Team in Trouble Posted: 09 Jun 2016 10:08 AM PDT Two high-profile Congressional supporters of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump are in the news this week. A loss of voter support for down-ballot legislative seats is considered one the biggest challenges for Republicans in 2016. Congressman Darrell Issa's surprisingly weak showing in the primary has delighted Democrats. Ex-marine Douglas Applegate is garnering national attention after a strong showing in a district that's been a lock for Republicans in the past. Congressman Duncan Hunter is under fire for comparing a Latino bar association with white supremacist groups in a radio interview with Fox News Sean Hannity about Donald Trump's accusations regarding U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel.   [Read more...] Author information Doug Porter Doug Porter was active in the early days of the alternative press in San Diego, contributing to the OB Liberator, the print version of the OB Rag, the San Diego Door, and the San Diego Street Journal.

City of San Diego Ballot Proposals Promote Police Transparency, Human Services Posted: 09 Jun 2016 09:23 AM PDT Women Occupy San Diego address Citizens Review Board on Policy Practices inadequacies (again); Democratic Woman's Club advocacy for City of San Diego Department of Public Health and Social Welfare Keep an eye on some of the new ballot proposals that have been filed recently with the San Diego City Clerk. These proposals reflect focused citizen participation that offer correctives to the city's Citizen Review Board on Police Practices (CRB) and the county's meager health and human services. These small "d" democratic efforts also happen to be spearheaded by women.   [Read more...] Author information Anna Daniels I left a moribund Western Pennsylvania mill town the year that Richard M.

Sore Loser! Posted: 09 Jun 2016 07:05 AM PDT Sore losers! you sneer, because they question the way the game was played. Cheaters! they cry, because it just doesn't make sense the way it went down, compared to what they saw with their very own eyes. Just politics. That makes it all OK, As if this was just a game of chess, With nothing lost but the round, unless you waged a bet.   [Read more...] Author information Jeeni Criscenzo Jeeni Criscenzo founded Amikas, a non-profit that works to house homeless women and children, particularly veteran women.

San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, Judge Curiel and Trump Attacks on Independent Judiciary Posted: 09 Jun 2016 06:51 AM PDT The San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association along with Tom Homann LGBT Law Association and Justicia Criminal Defense Lawyers announce their response to Donald Trump's misleading remarks regarding the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association and his repeated comments regarding U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel. By Luis O. Osuna, San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association President In recent days our organization and Judge Curiel have become the targets of Donald Trump's attacks. The comments made by Trump have been misleading, blatant lies and even racist in nature. Given the amount of attention that Trump's remarks have produced, this statement seeks to clarify who we are as an association, our purpose and the abject impropriety of Trump's criticism of Judge Curiel and his attacks on the independence of the judiciary.   [Read more...] The post San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association, Judge Curiel and Trump Attacks on Independent Judiciary appeared first on San Diego Free Press.

The Tijuana River Valley Community Garden Posted: 09 Jun 2016 06:40 AM PDT By Barbara Zaragosa / South Bay Compass The Tijuana River Valley (TRV) was once filled with vegetable farms, dairies and ranches. As a matter of fact, the famous horses Trigger and Seabiscuit were boarded here. Today, many ranches still pepper the TRV. You can take horse rides out to the beach or buy vegetables at Suzie's farm stand on weekends. Along the road in this sleepy area the TRV Community Garden also rents plots to local residents. The Tijuana River Valley Community Garden has a simple goal: to promote healthy and fresh grown produce in a diverse community environment.   [Read more...] Author information Barbara Zaragoza Barbara Zaragoza is a freelance writer who covers the South Bay, San Diego.
