Housing is a right. Together we defend it.
Flint Hills Tenants United is a tenant-led union of neighbors organizing for safe, affordable, and dignified housing. When renters stand together, we win.
Know your rights
You have more power than you think
Kansas renters are protected by law but those protections only matter when tenants know them and act on them. Here are some of the rights every tenant should keep close.
- The right to a safe, habitable home with working heat, water, and utilities.
- The right to proper written notice before a rent increase or eviction.
- The right to have repairs made and to withhold in limited, lawful circumstances.
- The right to organize with your neighbors free from retaliation.
- The right to the return of your security deposit, with itemized deductions.
- The right to privacy and reasonable notice before a landlord enters.
We believe every person deserves a home they can afford and a landlord who treats them with respect. We build the collective power to make that real not through favors, but through organized tenants.
What we do
Three ways we build tenant power
Organize
We bring neighbors together building by building and block by block, so no renter has to face a landlord alone.
Advocate
We push for stronger tenant protections and fair housing policy across Manhattan and the Flint Hills.
Educate
We share know-your-rights resources and practical tools so tenants can act with confidence.
