Ep. 179 Power to the Renters: Tenant's Rights in a Landlord's World
About this episode
The episode discusses tenant's rights and the challenges faced by low-income individuals in accessing legal assistance in housing matters.
Every year, 250 million Americans face issues that land them in the civil justice system; think eviction, debt collection and poor housing. And here's a shocking number: more than 90% of people with low incomes either get no legal help or inadequate legal assistance. Today's guest, Mallory SoRelle, is a public policy faculty member at Duke. She's co-written a book called Uncivil Democracy: How Access to Justice Shapes Political Power . The book is filled with true stories and analysis about how to harness power, politics, and justice to create effective public policy for everyone.
