Our determined intent is to address the following problems:
Severe lack of adequate advocacy for renters and manufactured homeowners.
Non-existent tenant representation in housing policy discussions and negotiations.
Imbalance of power in contractual rights and responsibilities that move renters into a vicious cycle of poverty and crushing debt.
Unequal access to justice and legal representation for renters and manufactured homeowners.
Restrictive and predatory practices designed to keep renters and manufactured homeowners from attaining economic stability and financial prosperity.
Goals
Educate and empower renters regarding rights, responsibilities, and the potential for better, more equitable, and fairer residential living conditions.
Guide and support the creation of tenant organizations state-wide, regionally, and locally in Utah.
Unite renters to self-advocate and to guide the advocacy of staff and allies.
Build coalitions across the state to improve renters’ and manufactured homeowners’ living conditions in order to achieve economic stability and financial prosperity.
