Renters’ Bill of Rights

To protect renters and prevent increasing houselessness, we must require 6 months notice before all rent increases; mandate relocation assistance when rent increases more than 5%; protect children and education workers from evictions for late rent during the school year; protect renters from evictions for late rent during extreme weather events; cap fees such as "pet rent," late fees, laundry fees, and other excessive charges and deposits; require that code violations be resolved before rent can be increased; establish a right to counsel in eviction court – no tenant should go to court without legal defense provided; demand that local rent control be allowed throughout Oregon; and link rent to the minimum wage such that all full-time workers can afford a 1-bedroom apartment with no more than 30% of their income.

Led by Portland Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
