PORTLAND TENANTS UNION OFFICIAL MEMBER SIGN UP FORM
This is the official sign up form for PTU members. Here is how it works:
1. Fill out this form
2. Process your dues payment on our Actbluepage. You will get the link via confirmation email as well
3. A member of PTU will confirm information and add you to the official member list
How much are my dues?
- PTU collects dues as a percentage of your monthly rent (minimum .5%, not to exceed 1.5%)
- If your rent is $1,000/mo your dues are $5/month
- If your rent is $1,500/mo your dues are $7.5/month
- If you split rent with roommates, just use the portion that you pay each month
What if I can't afford dues?
If one of the following situations applies to you, please select "Yes, I need dues waived" in this form:
- Rent is more than 50% of monthly income and income is below 80% of median average income ($68,500 as of 2024)
- Tenants who are unemployed
- Unhoused
- Other extenuating circumstances
Why do we need dues?
- We use dues to cover legal fees and event costs! PTU is all volunteers so there are no staff costs.
What if I want to be involved but I am not sure yet about becoming an official member?
- Sign up for our email list to find out about meetings and opportunities (without becoming an official member)
