DESCRIPTION:The Alameda Renters Coalition will hold a press conference Saturday, 
 November 14, 2105 at 2:00 PM at the apartment complex with the families of 
 the Bayview Apartments in attendance.\n\n—–\n\nThe ink was barely dry 
 on Alameda’s unanimously approved rent increase and eviction moratorium 
 when all tenants of the Bayview Apartments, a 34-unit complex at 470 
 Central Ave. in Alameda, were told they were being kicked out.\n\nOn Nov. 
 7th, residents at Bayview Apartments were given notices of termination of 
 tenancy telling them all to move out by January 8, 2016, forcing them to 
 pack up their homes over the holiday season and disrupting the education of 
 some 16 students in the middle of the school year.\n\nSridhar Equities of 
 San Jose, owner of the complex for less than a month, said in the notice 
 that tenants needed to leave their homes so they could “perform work on 
 the building.” The notice was given despite the fact that the new owner 
 hadn’t even applied to the city for permits for construction at the 470 
 Central Avenue address according to city officials.\n\nSridhar did repost 
 notices on Veteran’s Day changing the move-out day to Jan. 11, assumedly 
 to avoid conflict with the city’s new 65-day moratorium on evictions. 
 Vietnam Veteran Mike Sabo, a resident of Bayview Apartments, said that 
 getting that notice was “like a spear in the heart.”\n\nAlameda Renters 
 Coalition demands, on behalf of the families and residents at 470 Central 
 Avenue, that Sridhar Equities withdraw all termination notices. Essential 
 repairs on the apartments can be done with tenants remaining in their 
 homes.\n\nThe Coalition will hold a press conference Saturday, November 14, 
 2105 at 2:00 PM at the apartment complex with the families of the Bayview 
 Apartments in attendance.\n\n“This tight-knit community, where most 
 children attend school next door at Paden Elementary School, is in danger 
 of being completely torn apart,” said Catherine Pauling, spokesperson for 
 Alameda Renters Coalition. “Sridhar is just using this as a smokescreen 
 for evictions to get immediate high market rates. This callous disregard 
 for Alamedan families is not acceptable to our community and demonstrates 
 why renters need protections”\n\n– Alameda Renters 
 Coalition\n\n\nAlameda Renters Coalition is a group of Alameda city 
 residents who recognize housing as a basic need and seek to bring housing 
 stability to our community.\n
