Join NLIHC’s “Tenant Talk Live,” a meeting geared toward tenant and resident leaders, on Monday, August 5, at 6 pm ET (5 pm CT, 4 pm MT, and 3 pm PT). During the meeting, Kayla Laywell of NLIHC will discuss the National Tenants Bill of Rights (TBOR). Launched in June by NLIHC, the National Housing Law Project (NHLP), and the Tenant Union Federation (TUF), the TBOR is a major step toward empowering renters and advancing tenant protections by outlining seven essential rights that cover the tenant experience. Register for the meeting.
The TBOR covers seven essential rights, including the rights to:
- A fair application.
- A fair lease.
- Freedom from discrimination and harassment.
- A habitable home.
- Reasonable rent and costs.
- Organize.
- Safeguards against evictions.
Addressing the nation’s housing crisis requires enacting strong and enforceable tenant protections to help prevent housing instability and homelessness, redress long-standing racial and social inequities, and advance housing justice. Read the TBOR here and register for the call here.
