Recent media coverage on tenant/landlord issues informed by HOME Line

June 6, 2022 by Eric Hauge Leave a Comment

HOME Line Housing Attorney Rachael Sterling discusses extrajudicial displacement on a FOX 9 Investigators report

In the past month HOME Line’s legal, organizing, and advocacy work has been featured in or helped to provide background details for a number of recent state and national media reports on important housing and tenant/landlord topics. These stories covered a range of topics from a detailed investigation of the phenomenon of “informal” or “extrajudicial” forms of displacement/eviction, the end of the eviction moratorium coupled with impacts of the RentHelpMN application deadline, a push for for more emergency rental assistance, trends of increased rents in the metro, and how tenants can enforce their rights to habitable, safe homes. The many years of legal, organizing, and advocacy experience that HOME Line staff bring to Minnesota tenants and the broader community continues to ensure renters have the resources needed to solve their housing issues, while policymakers have critical information about trends in the rental market that warrant intervention.
