  • Edit: I’m mixing up a at will employment with right to work. Sorry for the confusion. See updated comment below:

    Right to work: Joining a union and paying union dues can no longer be a requirement of employment. This slowly degrades the power of the union and ultimately reduces wages and benefits of the workers

    Right to work At will employment is: A right to be fired at any point for any reason or no reason at all

    The goal is to get around any union protections that require things like a legitimate reason to be fired from a job.

    It also has the added bonus of drastically reducing the benefits of unions and making them much easier to prevent.



  • Owner occupancy won’t go up. Landlords are already occupying a place.

    As far as passing the cost goes, it won’t be. Rent is already as high as it can be and will continue to go up as long as our regulations allow this artificial shortage to be maintained. See The End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act as an example.

    As far as the damage goes, it’s pretty much counted on by landlords. Anything they do on the property counts as a tax deduction and the repairs are usually half asses at best. See “landlord special”.

    And, in particular, the poorer renters have a massive incentive to take care of the place, as any unpaid damage gets them kicked off of housing assistance.

    Furthermore, the law doesn’t blindly allow any and all pets for any reason. AB 2216 will require landlords to have reasonable reason(s) for not allowing a pet in a rental unit and only allows landlords to ask about pet ownership after a tenant’s application has been approved.

    I think this is a good change overall. Landlords shouldn’t be allowed to tell their tenants how to live their lives.
