Housing Rights Committee
has been a leading tenants rights organization since
its inception in 1979.
Not only did we help protect rent control after it was passed and limit condo conversions to protect seniors and others from evictions, but we fought hard to limit Ellis Act evictions, reduce the cost of capital improvement passthroughs, and to keep two- and four-unit buildings under rent control.

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.
We also fight
hard for Section 8 and Public Housing tenants
with our Subsidized Housing Program (we are
the only tenants rights organization that
offers counseling to these low-income
tenants).
In fact, we have 2 full-time Subsidized Housing Advocates and a collaboration with Attorneys at Bay Area Legal Aid.
