NEW: National rent control is closer than you think. A historic wave of tenant organizing is on the verge of winning renter protections that would be attached to federal loans—affecting 1 in 4 apartments. But Greystar, Blackstone, & AvalonBay are spending millions to block it.

NMHC boasts several credit bureaus and tenant screening companies that have broken consumer protection laws as dues-paying members, including TransUnion, Experian, Appfolio, and Saferent. npr.org/2022/04/12/109241776…

Credit firm TransUnion used deceptive marketing and 'dark patterns,' lawsuit alleges

TransUnion used digital tricks called "dark patterns," such as putting information in low-contrast fine print and in an image that took longer to load than the rest of the webpage, regulators say.

NEW REPORT: NMHC (@ApartmentWire), one of the biggest landlord lobby groups in the country, has very close ties to Harlan Crow. Crow Holdings executive Ken Valach is the group's Chair, while Crow himself has given tens of thousands to NMHC's PAC. therevolvingdoorproject.org/…

We might have been off your timeline, but we’re always building tenant power. The past few months, we’ve been knocking doors, taking action with hundreds of tenants, training, strategizing, and more

Powerful piece from @RamendaC about the organizing, led by tenants like Mary Osborne and Davita Gatewood, that cracked the door open for federal rent regulations. Now Mary, Davita, and the rest of the Homes Guarantee crew are ready to kick the door down. prospect.org/power/2023-02-0…
