A Call for a Tenant Bill of Rights — Zev Cook and David Galazin, Tacoma 4 All — #193


Listen Later

Housing is a frequent topic of conversation on this show. We’ve talked to realtors about the market for first-time homebuyers; we’ve discussed Matthew Desmond’s Evicted; we’ve talked about combatting displacement; we’ve discussed efforts to combat homelessness with Tacoma Housing Now; and talked about the national housing market with a NY-based real estate consultant.

This week we’re talking about the call for a tenant bill of rights with organizers from Tacoma for All. Tacoma for All is a citizen initiative led by tenants in Tacoma and their allies. The initiative calls for protections for renters, protection from predatory institutional landlords, fair practices around excess fees, mandated situational relocation assistance, and longer notification periods for rent hikes and forced moves.

Zev and David are organizers from Tacoma 4 All and joined us this week to talk about the initiative and their efforts to garner community support for it.
