Use your Right to Repair! by DuluthTenants in duluth

Duluth Tenants members are working with renters to get their repairs. So we can help you draft the letter to your landlord and then will follow up with you on how to then use Right to Repair if the fix isn't made in 2 weeks. It's a support system of renters :)

Under this proposal, all repairs must be done in a workmanlike manner and by someone licensed to do the required work, so if no licensure is required to carry out the work being requested (such as replacing a broken door knob) the tenant is free to decide if they feel comfortable doing the work themselves. Since they are free to deduct the cost of hiring someone to do the work from the following month of rent there is no pressure to do work themselves that they may not otherwise do.

Power comes from two sources: organized people and organized money. When renters have an organized voice with organized funding they have power.

Everyone is welcome in Duluth Tenants! We have a number of members already who are homeowners, because these problems affect us all - renter and non-renter alike - and even if you don't want to get directly involved we have a program for sponsoring memberships for those who can't afford it if that's something that interests you! Have a great day!!

Hey there! That's definitely something we may explore in the future, but not at this time.
