What is a tenants association?

When tenants unite under an association, they can more effectively push for better maintenance or security, challenge rent increases, and resolve other pressing issues that might arise within their building or property.

Here’s why starting a tenants association matters:

• Negotiate Free Rent or Lower Increases: We can push for things like 2-3 months of free rent or limit rent increases as part of the sale.
• Have a Say in Building Upgrades: Want new washer/dryers? More bike storage? Better parking? A tenants association gives us the power to ask for these improvements.
• Hold Management Accountable: We can demand better maintenance, security, and ensure repairs happen faster.
• No Out-of-Pocket Costs: Lawyers for tenants associations are paid from the sale process, so no upfront fees for us.
