KNX-1070 News Radio Los Angeles

Coalition for Economic Survival Executive Director Larry Gross was interviewed on KNX 1070 NewsRadio in response to the Los Angeles City Council vote on October 9, 2015 approving the earthquake retrofit mandate. Gross raise concerns regarding the current law that allows landlords to pass on 100% of the costs to tenants with a $75/month rent increase cap. He urged the City Council to now take immediate action to amend the pass through law to ensure there is now mass tenant displacement due to the inability to pay these huge rent increase.
