Tenants’ Right to Organize Act

The Tenants' Right to Organize Act gives tenants receiving housing assistance the right to form and operate tenant organizations without fear of retaliation. It requires public housing agencies and property owners to recognize these organizations, provide meeting spaces, and seriously consider tenant concerns. The bill prohibits adverse actions like lease termination, rent increases, or service reductions for participating in organizing activities. It applies to tenants in housing choice voucher programs and low-income housing tax credit properties, with enforcement through administrative complaints and potential legal action.
