For @thenation.com and @typeinvestigations.org, I looked into American Landmark, a major landlord filing evictions far more than the national average.
I found they are owned by an Israeli company with ties to the IDF, including during the Gaza genocide. (1/10)

In June, dozens of tenants in Los Angeles went on utility strike — they refused to pay their utility bills and demanded the landlord provide transparency as to how the bills are counted.
Three months into the strike, the landlord returned more than $25,000 back to these tenants.

Huge win ‼️ This is Mac. His corporate landlord just back-credited his account with over $700 after dozens of tenants in his building went on utility strike back in June.
The whole building got back over $25,000 in a concession by their corporate landlord Equity Residential.

LA Tenants are going into month four—this September—of a utility strike.
Why? They’re fed up with RUBS: a scam ratio utility billing system that evenly divides a building’s utility usage among tenants without any formulaic explanation.
70% of the building is on strike.

These LA tenants saw some utility fees double. So they went on strike.
The controversial billing system their landlord uses was banned in West Hollywood three years ago.

We need to draw attention to a new, exploding type of household debt that only recently emerged: it's called rent debt—or "back rent debt," and it didn't really exist before COVID at all. It's getting little attention in housing discourse and media coverage.
