Antioch tenants want city to pass laws to protect them against harassment.
Tenants who say they’ve reached the breaking point rallied on Thursday at Delta Pines Apartments in Antioch to demand the city pass tenant-rights measures to protect them and hold landlords accountable.
“We want Antioch to pass a tenant anti-harassment ordinance. We’re here because the people at Delta Pines Apartments are facing harassment,” ACCE Action’s Devin Williams told the crowd. The tenants on Thursday also called for the owners of Delta Pines and Casa Blanca Apartments to fire the complexes’ property manager, whom they say won’t provide receipts for rent payments, gives tenants dirty looks, and has played menacing music as she drove past tenants. They also accused the manager’s mother of hurling expletives against tenants, including a young boy.
Treveyon Carlson, 9, left, spoke at a rally about how he has been harassed on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023, in front of Delta Pines Apartments in Antioch where he lives. He asked the on-site manager to step down and requested the Antioch City Council pass tenant anti-harassment laws. Reached by phone, Mayor Pro-Tem Walker said she had hoped to add the anti-harassment and just-cause clauses last year during the rent stabilization discussions, but that didn’t happen.
