About Tenant Protections Guide
Free educational resources to help renters understand their rights, identify housing issues, and take appropriate action with confidence.
Our Mission
Empowering tenants with knowledge and tools for housing justice
Who We Are
Tenant Protections Guide is an independent educational platform dedicated to making tenant rights information accessible to everyone. We are not a law firm, government agency, or legal aid organization — we are educators who believe that understanding your rights is the first step toward resolving housing issues.
Our content is researched and written using primary legal sources including federal and state statutes, government publications, and established legal reference materials. We are committed to accuracy, transparency, and providing genuinely helpful information to renters across all 50 states.
How We Research and Review Content
Every guide on Tenant Protections Guide is built from primary legal sources — federal statutes, state codes, and official government publications. We cross-reference our content against HUD guidance documents, state attorney general publications, and established legal reference sources like Nolo and LawHelp.org.
Our editorial process requires that each guide cite specific statute section numbers (such as the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3604) rather than making unsupported general claims. State-specific data — including deposit limits, notice periods, and repair timeframes — is verified against current state codes before publication.
Content is reviewed against primary legal sources before publication and is updated when laws change. Each guide displays a "Last Reviewed" date so readers know how current the information is. If you find an error or outdated information, please contact us so we can correct it promptly.
