DISCRIMINATION, COERCION, ILLEGAL ENTRIES. SEACLIFF APTS/WOODMONT REALTY
The Issue

PLEASE READ BELOW FOR NEW AND CURRENT SUPPORTERS: There have been several developments since the first circulation of this petition which have encouraged us to continue to educate and empower fellow tenants and community members. Linked above are :
1.The Coastside News article specifically about the struggles with SeaCliff Apts, Woodmont Real Estate, and Conservice
2. A link to the law firm representing tenants who have been misled and/or victimized by Conservice with unexplained charges , a lack of transparency around viewing the “master bill” even when requested, and in the most severe cases evicted without any just cause due to Conservice’s legally dubious model.
PLEASE NOTE: Conservice has been forced to settle in numerous class actions already in various states.
Woodmont Realty are on a quest to weed out and evict tenants that are on section 8, and very frequently suffering with serious disabilities. We are seeing this in real, shockingly fast time here at SeaCiff Apts in Pacifica.In the last year, this apartment complex was taken over by new management and they have swiftly begun moving goalposts, changing terms of the lease, sending threatening emails, and outright ignoring any tenants who would like to speak with them about their concerns . They have just recently begun a sweep of their most vulnerable population many of whom have faced or dealt with homelessness due to their disabilities previous to living here . They are inventing incidences that never happened and coming up with things like thousands of “past due” dollars from their voucher tenants. These alleged debts are apparently years old and they will not let the tenants have a copy of a ledger that indicates anywhere when these debts were incurred . They have told people that they must pay up or get out. Many people are so intimidated and terrified and it’s horrible to watch. There seems to be a newly created and shamelessly enforced rule akin to “3 strikes you’re out” wherein management gets to determine WHAT the strikes are, and if they come up short they cite “ anonymous complaints” and refuse to give any further information. They are supremely confident that no one will have financial or emotional wherewithal to fight back. Complaints to corporate ( WOODSIDE REALTY) go unanswered entirely. They flout due process and dodge calls from intermediaries such as mediators. They have rested in the knowledge that if they are unresponsive for long enough people will give up. Legal recourse means nothing if the victims have no access to it. What they are engaging in is ILLEGAL, AMORAL and above all, deeply CRUEL. There are people, neighbors of mine that I consider friends as well that are facing eviction in a matter of days or weeks on insane and bogus charges. I am aiming for a minimum 100 signatures by Monday in order to present it to any parties, legal, the press, Housing Authority, etc. I will not stop distributing this at that point however. I want EYES on this. PLEASE do not put off signing IMMEDIATELY … the urgency of this can’t be overstated. BE AN ADVOCATE and stand by our most vulnerable citizens by standing up to the bully tactics of Bay Area landlords with God complexes. They take the dated title of “lord” all too literally. These are NOT lords, they are lessors and we are lessee’s. They are supposed to be working FOR us, not dangling constant threats, intimidation, and arbitrary decisions such as closing the pool of over a long weekend because the (children) who primarily use it “interrupted the nap time “ on a Saturday of some tenants theoretically. We all received an UNHINGED email from manager [Redacted] on this topic one day before she decided the pool “needed some work done” and made it essentially illegal to use over the warmest long weekend of the year. I’ve never heard any such thing in the 31/2 years I’ve been here. Two things to consider here 1. The pool is utilized about 75% by non white families, 2. It is steps from the front office. Makes you wonder who REALLY is having their precious peace impinged on by people who are daring to use the pool without teaching their children that the pool is a place to whisper and silently paddle. Using the (provided) grills is also rude (for certain tenants) as well as playing music at a level that is neither loud nor soft but definitely NOT English. These events occur about 2-3 times a year for around 4 daylight hours on weekends. I include this example to reinforce the point most of us tenants are treated as peasants or serfs and they turn those screws more and more diabolically the more vulnerable you are. Does a family with 2 young children in a two bedroom apartment have the financial freedom to up and move? Of course not, few of us do. So instead you can take away rights to features that are part of the rent and make people self conscious and uncomfortable. I am emphasizing the ending of this document should anyone want to skip to the main points. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. WOODMONT REALTY AND SEACLIFF APTS ARE IN CONTEMPT OF CALIFORNIA TENANT RIGHTS LAWS-PASSIVELY WATCHING INJUSTICES IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE. ALLOWING YOUR HEALTH AND THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF YOUR NEIGHBORS TO BE IMPINGED UPON AND DISREGARD IS A DEMORALIZING AND MISERABLE WAY TO LIVE. THERE IS NO BETTER TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY THAN NOW. 2024. WE ARE TAKING A NEEDED MULTI PRONGED APPROACH IN THIS BATTLE. YOUR SIGNATURE IS AN INTEGRAL STARTING POINT, ADDING TEXT AS TO WHY YOU SIGNED IS TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL IF YOU CAN.
