Housing Rights Committee is a tenants rights organization that offers free counseling for San Francisco tenants in all types of housing, including rent-controlled, non-rent controlled, public housing and Section 8.

We have 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 4,500 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, 427 South Van Ness/15th. We also answer questions emailed to us via this website.

We have a dedicated staff of volunteer counselors who are trained to help tenants identify their options when they are 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.
