Strengthen East Lansing Renters' Rights

Strengthen East Lansing Renters' Rights

The Issue

What’s the longest you’ve had to wait for your landlord to repair something that broke where you live? How long have you spent searching rental listings for a place you can actually afford? The East Lansing Renters' Rights Coalition (ELRRC) is a group committed to defending and expanding the rights of renters in East Lansing. ELRRC aims to push East Lansing City Council to:

  1. Adopt an ordinance that would give renters the right to seek repair services for issues in the property and withhold a portion of rent to pay for it.
  2. Add a plain-language renters’ rights guide to the City of East Lansing website.


If you agree that renters deserve the dignity of affordable and safe homes, sign this petition and join us in demanding East Lansing City Council adopt these ordinances.
