Dear Senator/Representative ______:

It is critical that the Landlord and Tenant Omnibus Policy Bill includes strong tenant protections! Prohibiting landlords from discriminating against renters who use a subsidy to help pay their rent (this is also known as Source of Income Protections), protecting tenants from retaliation by landlords when they want to organize to improve their living situations, (this is also known as Tenants’ Right to Organize), and making sure that tenants’ homes are quality places to live are all key for a strong tenant rights package. I urge you to ensure that Senate File 3492 / House File 3591 includes these and other tenant protections to make a more equitable tenant/landlord relationship. Thank you. 

Sincerely,
