New research shows many city & state climate policies leave renters behind. Renters can push for efficiency rules, share rebate info with landlords, and join local climate meetings to demand fair, greener housing for all 💚🌟🔋#ClimatePolicy #RentersRights

My first go at lace knitting. It is bunched up because I paused mid row (and forgot where I was...). It's a nice distraction from the health inspector forcing me to evacuate because the landlord's property is uninhabitable.

If they say no, follow up:
“Is that because you only accept one application fee at a time and refund it within 20 days if no lease is offered?”

Not a guarantee — just clarity before you spend money.

Being prepared shouldn’t cost renters more.

Renters who have already verified their information often end up paying again just to prove the same thing. That’s a system problem — not a renter problem.
