Across our beautiful city, greedy landlords are ignoring rent control laws, but the Portland Tenants Union is fighting back. Over the past year, we’ve supported tenants in making their cases before the Rent Board, winning back hundreds of thousands of dollars for renters who were forced to pay illegal rent.

The more we heard from fellow tenants the more it became clear that there is widespread disregard for Portland’s rent control laws, and the city is failing to hold landlords accountable. To illustrate just how dire the rental market is, this march we conducted an Zillow audit. We looked at all of the rental listings on Zillow and identified how many were in violation of Portland Rent Control law. We used this information and what we've learned fighting greedy landlords over the past year to build the Tenants Agenda: a pathway toward safe, stable, and affordable housing for Portland tenants.
