If you rent in DC, and are unhappy about just how much rent you have to pay. If you rent and have concerns about health and safety issues in your apartment or apartment complex, you should go. The Tenant Town Hall is organized by the Latino Economic Development Center and the Housing for All Campaign but any DC resident who rents is encouraged to attend. It’s your opportunity to make your housing concerns known to those with the power to do something about it.

Tenants Demand Safe, Affordable Housing

Join the tenant movement for affordable housing and safe, healthy conditions! Hundreds of DC tenants will gather to raise their concerns to Councilmembers and agency directors just days before the DC Council votes on the budget and decides how to fund key housing programs. Wins made by tenants at the Tenant Town Hall have improved the lives of all DC renters. Stand for Housing For All at the Tenant Town Hall!
