              Renters/Tenants' Rights

The Green Party recommends the following actions:

Renters/Tenants' Rights

Guarantee tenant's rights, including: freedom from harassment and evictions without just cause; well-enforced habitability standards; strong anti-discrimination enforcement, including family protection laws and domestic partnerships; continuation of established services and amenities; the right to reasonable guest visitation; maintenance of roommate privileges; and the right to communicate with other tenants about conditions or circumstances in their buildings.
Enact and enforce strong penalties for landlords who violate these rights.

Fund public and non-profit tenant-related counseling and legal assistance for renters.
