Our Mission
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
As a diverse organization, BTU is inclusive to all members and therefore does not tolerate racism, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism, ageism, or any other form of harassment or oppression.
The challenge
Burbank has a shortage of decent, safe, affordable, and sanitary housing, resulting in an increasingly overpriced city that is pushing out valuable, long-term residents. As a result, freedom of contract and tenants’ ability to bargain in the setting of rents have become illusory.
There is power in a union!
