DSA leader and rent abolitionist Gustavo Gordillo is being sued for eviction after he stopped paying rent on a Brooklyn apartment, according to the New York Post.

The New York City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair signed a lease on a one-bedroom place in Crown Heights for $2,500 a month in May 2025. He skipped payments for months at a time and only occasionally caught up with a larger sum once the arrears reached three months, the outlet reported.
