tenant unions
Lessee advocacy groups
Tenant unions are organizations of renters who band together to negotiate with landlords, advocate for better living conditions, or resist evictions.
Like labor unions for workers, they use collective bargaining power to address grievances that individual tenants couldn't effectively challenge alone: The tenant union organized a rent strike until the building's heating was fixed.
