Episode Details

Daniel's story of six forced moves in ten years, a landlord who ended his tenancy for asking about a leak, and a toilet ripped out while tenants still lived there — these aren't isolated horror stories. They're symptoms of a rental system designed for landlord discretion, not tenant stability. This episode examines why Israel's 2017 Fair Rental Law failed (no registry, no enforcement), how tenancy at will creates permanent precariousness, and what grassroots movements in Los Angeles and Berlin teach us about building political leverage from nothing. If you've ever wondered whether one person with a camera and a day job can actually change housing policy, this is the blueprint.
