Rent Control To Prevent More Homelessness
On August 22, 2022, Tony Castro refused a corporate donation and corporate endorsement from the Fullerton Apartment Association so he can be free to fight for the people. The Fullerton Apartment Association is a Political Action Committee in Orange County, and consist of a group of rich landlords and wealthy developers who are trying to raise rents in Fullerton. Tony Castro is not for sale, cannot be bought and will never accept corporate donations for his campaign. Tony Castro wants to be free to fight for the renters of Fullerton, not the rich landlords and developers. As a member of the Fullerton City Council, Tony Castro will fight to implement a strict rent control policy.
Tony Castro Will Lead The Fight To Protect Renters Rights
Rent in Fullerton is to expensive, unaffordable and impossible to pay on a minimum wage salary. As a renter in Fullerton, Tony Castro has experienced this problem first hand. In October of 2022, his own rent will be raised from $1,800 a month to $2,300 a month, for a one bedroom apartment. A 30% increase in rent is unacceptable! This will only cause more poverty, homelessness and crime in the City of Fullerton. It's time for the government, including the Fullerton City Council, to get involved and regulate these wealthy investors and protect the best interest of the people. Since Tony Castro refuses money from corporate and special interest lobbyists, he is free to fight for Rent Control.
Renters in Fullerton Vs. Wealthy Developers, Investors & Landlords
In a phone conversation, Chip Ahlswede, Vice President of the Fullerton Apartment Association, told Tony Castro that Rent Control doesn't work, hasn't worked, and will never work, anywhere in the United States. Tony Castro replied, "It will work great for the renters in Fullerton"! Tony Castro is the sledge hammer and leader in Rent Control for the City of Fullerton's renters.
