Reyna Aguilar's struggle highlights the severe effects of the Costa-Hawkins Act, which allows landlords to dramatically increase rent once tenants vacate their homes, deepening the housing crisis.
Despite government assistance with rent vouchers, Aguilar faced harassment from her landlord's employees, illustrating the challenges tenants face in securing their rights amidst predatory practices.
Aguilar's journey from stable housing to living in her car underscores the desperation many Californians face in the wake of growing rent costs and limited affordable options.
The Costa-Hawkins Act has left many tenants vulnerable, making it easier for landlords to impose steep rent hikes, perpetuating the cycle of homelessness and housing instability.
