Part one of this story aired in 2022 and left off with the Tucson Tenants Union stepping in to advocate for the tenants at the Monterey Garden Apartments, where the leases of all 52 units had been terminated. The story looked at the lack of affordable housing within Tucson and how questionable landlord practices contribute to the growing housing crisis. Part 2 broadens that microcosm to Tucson’s Amphi neighborhood where tenant activist group the ‘Amphi Panteras’ are focusing their attention on the Malibu Apartments where tenants are fighting for their tenants’ rights.
