Link to a free tool your renters can actually use

Rent Clarified is a free, no-account tool that explains a rent increase notice in plain English and Spanish, with the statute cited for each state. It is educational and not legal advice. If it helps the people you serve, we would be glad for a link — and glad to list your organization in return.

Outreach templates

If you are helping us reach organizations, these are the emails to send. Replace the placeholders in double braces before sending.

Outreach playbook

  1. Pick one state and list 15–20 organizations there: tenant unions, legal aid programs, 211 and city housing offices, university housing pages.
  2. Find the person who maintains the resources page, not the general inbox, when you can.
  3. Send the matching template below, with {{ORG}}, {{NAME}}, {{CITY}} and {{PAGE}} replaced — a real local page, never the homepage.
  4. Offer something first: the free embeddable widget, a listing in our local-help list, or a correction to our state page.
  5. Follow up once after 8–10 days. Stop after that.
  6. Log every send below so nobody gets emailed twice and we can see which segments respond.

Submit your organization

Tell us where you linked from, or ask to be listed as local help for your area. We read every submission; we do not publish your email.

Rent Clarified is an educational tool, not a law firm, and nothing on the site is legal advice. For a specific situation, consider consulting a licensed attorney or a local tenant rights organization.
