Tenant Rights

Your Rights. Your Home. Your Power.

Tenant rights are the foundation of housing justice. We educate, support, and advocate to ensure every tenant—no matter their background—understands how to protect their home.

From rent control enforcement to living condition complaints, we help tenants navigate city and county protections with the confidence of having legal guidance at their side.
