More than 14 million households live in single-family rentals, according to a report by the Joint Center for Housing Studies. What they found was many different corporate landlords across the city and county. Though there was interest from some tenants, organizing them over a sustained period of time to act as a united front proved too difficult. “We just weren’t able to get to that next step of getting a group of people together.”It’s the most-cited obstacle when organizing tenants living in single-family rentals: geography. “There could be 30 homes owned by corporate landlords, but [they’re] divided between 10 corporate landlords,” says Moreno.
