New Hampshire has passed a no-fault eviction law, making it easier for landlords to evict tenants and harder for those tenants to defend themselves in court.

Written in Granite: New Hampshire passes no-fault eviction law

Granite Staters, are you paying attention? I’ll admit this one caught me by surprise, and it now appears to affect someone I know and care deeply about.

there's a lot of value to good reviews, too! most renters have at least one bad experience, whether it be unmaintained property, expensive rent hikes, unresponsive landlords, etc. it's a lot harder to find an affordable place with no issues & a good landlord let's help each other find those places

Kelly@infinitefinite.blog · last wk.

for what it's worth, good reviews might be more valuable for other users than bad reviews. it's a lot harder to find a good landlord than it is to find a bad one

please consider following the bsky account we made for RATM to help spread the word

We are excited to announce that rentagainstthemachine.com is looking for beta testers! RATM allows registered users to anonymously rate and review their landlords, and connects users who are ready to buy their own homes with mortgage and real estate agents in the area in which they are looking.

Here's an excellent summary of why we need to ban rent-gouging software used by corporate landlords. The article's findings not only apply to New Jersey, but also to any state in the country.

New Jersey takes aim at rent-setting algorithms used by landlords

The FAIR Act aims to prevent landlords from using shared rental data and pricing software to coordinate rents and drive up housing costs.

Late on rent? New Virginia law gives tenants more time and protection from eviction  • Virginia Mercury

Under previous Virginia law, tenants had five days to pay overdue rent before landlords could begin eviction proceedings.  A new law, House Bill 15, by Del. Cia Price, D-Newport News, extends that gra...

Landlords complaining about people using the properties the landlords rent to them is bananas.

Every New Yorker deserves a safe, stable, affordable place to live. That's worth fighting for every legislative session.

With progressive momentum on their side, tenant advocates see hope for the REST Act next session

On the heels of the primaries, is there more of an appetite upstate for rent stabilization?

people "have money", in that they have income. but the number of people seriously burdened by their rent is the highest it's ever been. the cost of living is so much worse than it was a decade or two ago. I know multiple people making the most money they've ever made who are barely hanging on.

This is a rehash of the vibecession debates but median household income adjusted for inflation hit a record in 2024 (2025 data will be released in September). It’s just *not true* in any objective sense that people don’t have money anymore. It may *feel* that way but that’s different from reality.

BREAKING 🚨: $META Death Candle on earnings 📉📉

Boston remains the 3rd most expensive rental market in the United States for a one-bedroom apartment, with a median monthly rent of $2,900. Only New York City ($4,560) and San Francisco ($4,180) are more expensive.

In some U.S. markets, renters can get four-bedroom apartments for $1,500 a month. In other cities, that isn't even enough to pay for a studio apartment, according to a national RentCafe study.

Here’s what $1,500 in rent can get you in Philly, Miami, Boston, and other cities across the country

inquirer.com

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

Are you a business owner with a commercial lease for your business space? RATM isn't just for residential properties, there are also options to review rented commercial and mixed use spaces, like storefronts and warehouses. It makes good business sense to research where you're renting.

The most protected tenant is an organized tenant. Yesterday, we welcomed the 8609 Bay 16th St. Tenant Association as the 100th tenant union to organize with the City's support.

"Rent-stabilized portfolios in or at risk of foreclosure give tenants outsized leverage to fight for the ownership of our homes. "Rather than addressing distress through deregulation and rent hikes, organized tenants can chart a new course by taking these homes out of the private market for good."

The Chicago City Council must do the right thing for tenants -- not just landlords. If not, hard-working Chicagoans will face excessive rents and unfair evictions, which will result in more homelessness.

Chicago renters’ rights are at stake in dueling City Hall proposals

A potential, first-in-a-generation rewrite of Chicago's renters rights ordinance boils down to two different plans sure to impact the city's 600,000-plus renters.
