Description

After a major decrease during the pandemic, we’re seeing evictions in Multnomah County rise even higher than before COVID. Today on City Cast Portland we’re talking with Alli Sayre, Organizing Coordinator for Portland Tenants United. She’ll be walking us through how bad it is, what the state may do to help, and answer the question: is there such a thing as a good landlord?

Resources for people facing eviction:
211info (Multiple local resources, including rent assistance)
Portland Rental Services Office (Information and eviction/rights help)
Community Alliance of Tenants (Statewide rights hotline)
Portland Tenants United (Local advocacy group)
Oregon Law Center (Legal support for low-income Oregonians)
