A Good Cause Eviction ordinance is common sense.
Good Cause Eviction would protect tenants from no-fault evictions, empowering tenants to demand better, safer living conditions without fear of retaliation.
This ordinance is designed to take on the corporate landlords that are buying up homes in our communities. It would reward good actors and discourage bad ones from participating.
We are facing an eviction crisis here in Syracuse:
620
people in Syracuse experience homelessness on any given night
950
households in Syracuse have been at risk of eviction during the pandemic
8,640
households in Onondaga County are behind on rent
Tenants across Syracuse experience substandard and unsafe housing conditions, from lead exposure to a lack of heat and electricity: read more here.
