Richmond DSA members rally outside City Hall
We are rallying at City Hall to push the passage of a rental inspection district ordinance to benefit all Richmond tenants. Let’s keep pushing city council for safe, healthy homes.
HOUSING ACTION ALERT! ~ for the ~ PROACTIVE RENTAL INSPECTION PROGRAM
WHY DO WE NEED THIS? RVA RENTAL INSPECTION PROGRAM Richmond City Council is considering a proactive rental inspection ordinance. SO WHAT IS IT? This ordinance would require landlords to apply for a permit and complete a basic inspection before they can rent out a unit. YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS HAVE TO COMPLETE A SAFETY INSPECTION BEFORE THEY CAN EARN YOUR BUSINESS. Why shouldn't the same apply to OUR HOMES?
WHAT CAN I DO? RVA RENTAL INSPECTION PROGRAM CONTACT YOUR COUNCIL REP Call or email your City Council rep and ask them to support the ordinance. To find your rep, visit: https://bit.ly/RVArepresent 2 GET INVOLVED Your building or neighborhood may already have a tenant council - or you can start your own! To learn more, contact the Richmond Tenants Union: https://richmondtenantsunion.org 3 SPREAD THE WORD Share this post on your socials, and tell your friends who rent about the proposed ordinance.
WE CAN TURN OUT! NEXT CITY COUNCIL DATES Tuesday, May 27th @ 5:30 PM Postponed to Monday, June 2 @5:30PM RICHMOND CITY HALL 900 East Broad Street - Richmond, VA WEAR RED TO SHOW SUPPORT Meet up @ side entrance (9th Street)
DRY NEWS: Richmond City Hall Protest Postponed!
Due to the city’s water crisis, we’re pausing our protest out of respect for everyone’s hydration and hygiene. We’ll be back to make a splash June 2, 5:30pm at City Hall—once the faucets are flowing! Stay tuned & stay hydrated! 💧
