The Burbank Tenants Union is an inclusive, anti-hate organization that serves to resist corporate consolidation of housing and empower Burbank’s renting class by means of:

  • Promoting positive neighborly interactions to foster a cooperative community
  • Educating renters of their rights and responsibilities
  • Actively advocating for renters against evictions, harassment, and unfair treatment by landlords
  • Consolidating diverse grassroots renter power to fight for pro-renter laws and policies including housing as a human right, rent affordability, and rent control

There is power in a union!
