	"description": "If you are like the 54% of Chicagoans who rent, you have been feeling the squeeze of rising rents. Chicago rent increases are outpacing other major cities, including New York, LA, Boston, and more. The average Chicago renter has seen their rent go up by more than 10% since 2022, which comes up on top of rising prices for food, energy, healthcare, and other basic necessities. It’s well past time that the City of Chicago take action to address the rising unaffordability of our great city and fight back against the landlords and real estate interests who are preying on working class tenants. We are proud to support the recently introduced Protecting Renters Ordinance that, if passed, will be a major advancement in the fight to keep Chicago affordable and better equip renters to fight back against landlord greed. The PRO would: Create a Chicago rental registry that will overhaul the way the City monitors and enforces health conditions for renters. Establish a Bureau of Rental Housing Services to ensure tenants’ rights are enforced and educates and supports Chicago tenants. Establish a tenants Bill of Rights and enact important reforms regulating deposits and fees and a ban on junk fees Create an Eviction Counsel Program providing legal representation for eligible tenants with an eviction defense and legal consultations for all eligible tenants facing eviction. Establishing “Just Cause” requirement for Eviction, requiring Landlords provide a valid reason to evict or not renew a lease and other new protections to reduce displacement. We are calling on all our members and supporters to send a letter to their Alderman on the Chicago City Council to support the Protecting Renters Ordinance. Use this form to generate a letter to send to your alderman and let them know you support the PRO!",
