Welcome to the Website and Blog of the American Tenants Association!
The ATA was formed to serve as the voice and advocate for renters’ rights throughout the United States.
There are more than 95 million residential renters in our great country – it’s time our voice is heard!
Our nation is currently experiencing serious economic disruption. People are losing their jobs in record numbers, watching their savings and retirement accounts plummet and experiencing dramatic declines in home values. Renters have not escaped these disruptions. The mission of the ATA is to work with our elected representatives throughout the country and at all levels of government to ensure that tenants are not ignored and the nation’s leaders effectively address our problems.
One of our first tasks will be to aggressively fight for the rights of tenants in situations of landlord mortgage foreclosures. This is a growing epidemic all over the United States. We will be working with legislators throughout the country to find solutions to this serious issue.
Under the leadership of Stan Dale, our Director of Public Policy, we are also creating a “rent to buy” program whereby tenants occupying investment property under foreclosure or about to be can work with the lien holder to become new homeowners. We are excited about this endeavor and look forward to unveiling this program in the near future.
Check out our full legislative agenda elsewhere on our website.
The ATA is your organization! Membership is free to all residential renters and supporters of tenant rights. Feel free to offer your comments on our blog. Stay informed. And welcome aboard.
Best Regards,
William M. Deegan
Executive Director
