About Us RentersRights.info is the product of a collaboration between Housing Rights, Inc. and the East Bay Community Law Center.
Housing Rights, Inc. is a San Francisco Bay Area non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring equal access to housing for everyone. We work to eradicate illegal housing discrimination and sub-standard housing conditions, to prevent evictions and foreclosures and to encourage diversity in Bay Area neighborhoods. We do this by assisting individuals in obtaining and maintaining the home of their choice, by promoting understanding between tenants and landlords, offering housing rights counseling and advocacy services, investigating discrimination claims, and providing legal referrals and access to other vital social services. All of our services are free, and accessible to non-english speake East Bay Community Law Center's mission: A core value of our society is equal access to justice. The complex nature of the legal system limits equal access, especially for people in poverty and those faced with language and cultural barriers. Well-trained legal advocates should be available to all people, regardless of economic status. To that end, EBCLC provides:
Since its founding in 1988 by law students at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law, EBCLC has become the largest provider of free legal services in the East Bay and a nationally-recognized poverty law clinic. EBCLC's work makes the lives of East Bay community members more healthy, secure, productive, and hopeful. |
This website's mission is to provide renters with information on their housing rights
and how to ensure their rights are respected. We also try to provide the
self-advocacy tools that can best help tenants to resolve conflicts with
their landlords or property managers.. We also aim to assist renters in
understanding when they should go for outside help, and where to go for
that help.
