How Did Corporate Landlords Create the Housing Crisis?

We spoke with Alex Ferrer about the Current State of the Housing Crisis and How Tenants can Fight Back!

Alex Ferrer holds a Master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning and is currently a PhD student in Geography at UCLA and researcher at the Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy. He’s also part of Debt Collective’s amazing housing team, which is primarily based in Los Angeles and the Bay Area.

We spoke about the corporate landlord structure and the apex predator of the housing market: Real Estate Investment Trusts or REITs.

  • Join us to demand that the FTC close the REIT merger loophole and protect tenants by holding corporate landlords accountable! Bit.ly/FTCProtectTenants26

We also referenced a book called Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End the Housing Crisis.
