SHORTLY THEREAFTER, TENAC will issue 2020 Endorsements on who to vote for in the General Election on Nov . 3rd. Besides endorsing who we think will be best for the city overall, TENAC will endorse the candidates we believe will best remedy the affordable housing crisis promote tenants' rights, and prevent the destruction of rent control, and instead favor extending it to newer buildings instead of only applying to buildings built before 1976. Most candidates support this, and if they do not, expect more developer devouring of neighborhoods, and higher rents. It is a major component of the Reclaim Rent Control platform. We salute Reclaim Rent Control for their great work promoting it, making it known to the council, and getting councilmembers to support it. TENAC is a non-profit, public service organization dedicated exclusively to tenant interests, tenant rights, and support for rent control in the District of Columbia. We are the only city-wide tenants organization, and we represent all tenants in the District of Columbia. As a legal successor to the Tenants' Organizations Political Action Committee (TOPAC), we have been serving tenants for almost 15 years. TENAC's mission is to assist tenants through education, legal information, and lobbying for tenant legislation- especially affordable housing and tenants' rights. TENAC prepares legislative proposals on behalf of tenants, and testifies frequently before the City Council on matters of vital interest to tenants. Of critical importance is TENAC's HOTLINE (202) 288-1921, which answers landlord/tenant questions, and TENAC's role in helping tenants to form tenant associations throughout the city. TENAC believes that tenants in unorganized rental buildings are open for abuse by landlords, rental agents, and owners. We will not rest until we see a tenants' association in every rental building in the city.
