A Tenants Rights Group
for all Renters in SF
logo

Housing Rights Committee is a tenants rights organization that offers free counseling for San Francisco tenants in all types of housing, including rent-control, public housing and Section 8. We've been fighting for the rights of tenants since 1979 when a group of seniors at Old St. Mary's Church came together to organize against condo conversions that were displacing the elderly. Housing Rights Committee counselors provide help to over 5,000 tenants a year, advising them on their rights as renters.

We offer both call-in and drop-in counseling Monday through Thursday, 1-5pm, 703-8644, 417 South Van Ness/15th (NOTE that this is a new address). We also answer questions emailed to us via this website. 

We have a dedicated staff of volunteer counselors trained to help tenants identify their options when they're having problems with evictions, illegal rent increases, repair problems, the return of their security deposit, etc.

Housing Rights Committee is a membership organization. Our members make our voice strong and help us continue to support renters in need. Please consider making a donation to us today. See the "Donate Now" box on the left side of this page.
