šŸ” IV Rental Inspection Pilot Program: Know Your Rights!
This summer, Isla Vista apartments will be inspected for health and safety concerns (like mold or unsafe structures). Landlords, not tenants, will be held accountable.

🚨 Worried about how this affects you?
You have the right to refuse an inspection.

šŸ›  Need support?
The Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD) offers free tenant support, including legal help, mediation, and housing resources.
