Plain-English Summary

This legislation would protect renters' legal right to form unions or tenant associations to collectively bargain with landlords over issues like rent, maintenance, and living conditions. The bill would prevent landlords from punishing tenants for organizing activities, similar to protections that exist for workers in other industries. Renters across the country would gain stronger tools to negotiate better housing conditions and advocate for their rights as a group.
