Empowering California renters through information, education, and housing resources.
About Us
About Us
This project was created to make housing information easier to understand so renters in California do not have to navigate the system alone. Many people are unsure where to begin when they receive a notice, face a rent increase, or experience unsafe conditions. Our goal is to provide clear and reliable legal information that helps tenants understand their rights and make informed decisions.
No legal representation or legal advice is provided. All information is educational.
Why This Work Matters
Why This Work Matters
California is home to nearly 17 million renters, one of the largest renter populations in the country. Housing costs remain among the highest nationwide, and many households are under increasing financial strain.
