At the SLO Tenants Union, our core values are fairness, unity, safety, and stability. We believe in a fair and equitable housing system where all renters are treated with dignity and corporate landlords are held accountable for exploiting tenants through unethical practices like price gouging, unsafe living conditions, and no-fault evictions. Fairness means ensuring housing policies work for everyone, not just those with wealth and power. Unity is our strength; we come from diverse backgrounds but are united in our shared need for safe, secure, affordable homes. Together, we amplify our voices to demand respect and action from landlords and policymakers alike.

Safety is non-negotiable. We advocate for basic protections, like functional locks, clean air, and tenant-landlord solid communication, because no one should live in fear or under unhealthy conditions. Finally, stability is at the heart of our work as we push for policies that make housing affordable and accessible for everyone. We believe stable housing is the foundation of strong communities, allowing families to plan for their futures, save for emergencies, and thrive. By standing together, we build a future where everyone can live in a home that supports their well-being and security.
