Santa Barbara Tenants - Rent Freeze Violations

Is your landlord violating the Santa Barbara rent freeze? Hello! I'm Lizzy Rager, a reporter with SFGATE, and previous editor for the UC Santa Barbara paper the Daily Nexus. I am working on a story about rent freeze violations and ways landlords may be trying to circumvent the current rent freeze in Santa Barbara. If your landlord has tried to raise your rent or change your lease terms and your property is eligible for the rent freeze, I'd love to speak with you. Or you might have been asked to sign onto a notice that gives different rent options citing how the rent ordinance will play out (I've been told Meridian Property Management is doing this). These kind of terms can be confusing and concerning for tenants - I want to hear about your experience. You can reach me at [email redacted] . I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns before you agree to an interview.
