About TENANTS TOGETHER

Tenants Together is California’s statewide tenant-advocacy coalition (founded 2008) that connects and supports local tenant groups, provides training and legal referral resources, and conducts statewide legislative and public campaigns to protect renters. The organization operates a statewide tenant rights hotline and publishes know-your-rights materials, organizing toolkits, and policy reports to advance tenant protections and resist displacement. Tenants Together works in coalition with groups such as ACCE, PICO California, Homes for All and Housing NOW! and participates in legislative advocacy, research, and community capacity-building across urban, suburban, and rural regions of California.
