UCLA: ACCEPT STATE RELIEF FUNDS FOR RENTERS AND END HOUSING-RELATED ACADEMIC HOLDS NOW!
We are students and workers at UCLA. We are rent-burdened.
We are choosing

Of 500 residents surveyed, 33% said that 30-60% of their income is used to pay rent to UCLA housing, while 61% said that more than 60% of their income is used to pay rent.
UCLA Housing doesn't have a plan to reduce rent. In fact, Housing wants us to take on more debt to continue to pay rent during the pandemic.
Our Demands:
1. Cancel rent for the duration of the pandemic.
2. Ensure that no more than 30% of student incomes go to housing costs when in-person university operations resume.
3. Stop pressuring residents to sign onto payment plans.
4. Guarantee universal contract renewal for residents wishing to continue living in University Apartments, independent of student status if residents are graduating.
5. Guarantee that no holds will be placed on students’ academic records, including access to campus services, enrollment, and graduation if they do not pay rent.
6. Cancel the proposed rent increase for the academic year 2020-2021.
