Our Mission

United Renters For Justice/Inquilinxs Unidxs por Justicia works for permanently affordable democratic housing and structural changes: tenant unions, rent stabilization, stronger enforcement of renter protections, and community owned housing. 

We convene Minneapolis tenants to analyze their housing problems; to strategize, organize, and mobilize around those problems; and to create affordable and dignified homes. 

We work with tenants of the largest landlords in some of the worst-maintained housing in the city who experience mold, insect and rodent infestations, freezing temperatures, insecure apartment buildings, unresponsive landlords and terrible rent increases.

We work with landlords whenever possible, but when they refuse to address problems in their buildings we support tenants to create pressure through the courts, public education campaigns and take direct action to solve their own problems.

About

Renters United/Inquilinxs Unidxs is more than a non-profit. We are a collaboration of tenants from across Minneapolis who have come together to push back on the worst excesses of our housing system. We are developing a new idea about what housing is and can be, and we are building it together with our allies: neighbors, donors, and elected officials.
