Introduction to Renters Union

Renters Union is a specialized platform designed to provide expert advice on renters' rights and issues related to mold and damp in rental properties.

We offer detailed analysis and guidance for users by reviewing their tenancy agreements (with personal information redacted for privacy) and evaluating mold and dampness issues through photos, providing tailored advice based on the extent of mold coverage. An example scenario could involve a renter facing unexpected eviction notices; Renters Union would guide them through their legal rights, potential responses, and strategies to address the situation, ensuring they are well-informed to take appropriate action.
