Tenant Organizations

These organizations are mostly volunteer, operated by people committed to helping tenants with their on-going problems. You can join them and assist in their campaign, or start your own, and they will be glad to help you get started. Someone has to speak up and get things going. The landlords are very well organized and well-funded, but tenants have the numbers to show up at the polls to change the politicians in office and bring laws into effect.
