Winston-Salem tenants are living in unsafe, unmaintained housing while landlords face little consequence for failing to make repairs. North Carolina cities like Durham and Greensboro have already passed stronger protections. It's time Winston-Salem does the same! actionnetwork.org/petitions/ho...

Your right to organize with your neighbors is protected by law. Those who rely on federal funds for housing assistance have additional explicit rights. Learn more about your rights as a tenant in North Carolina here: nctenantsunion.org/tenant-rights/

Durham seniors moved in for community. Now they’ve organized a tenants union.
“It’s just a matter of respect in terms of what we need, what we deserve, and what is legal,” one resident said.

On Tuesday, in response to pressure from New Hanover Tenants Union and the Cape Fear Housing Coalition, City Council took action to protect #WilmingtonNC public housing tenants. A new resolution formally supports a full 30-day eviction notice so tenants can respond and get affairs in order. #housing

Congratulations to Durham tenants for their work in getting recognized by their landlord! This is all possible due to sustained work of tenant leaders at the affordable housing buildings. Tenants will be negotiating with DHIC, property manager CMS, and developer Self-Help. #NorthCarolina

NCTU joined a lawsuit against the Department of Housing and Urban Development on behalf of a tenant who would be affected by their proposed rollback of a vital tenant protection. HUD has been attempting to rescind the required 30 day eviction notice for many tenants receiving federal assistance.
