Baltimore Tenants Fight Evictions Together

Baltimore Renters United staged their first Day of Action outside the courthouse to rally support for tenants facing eviction, emphasizing that safe housing is a basic right—and they’re here to make sure no one faces the system alone. With over 34,000 restitution warrants and 3,500 evictions filed in 2024 alone, and already 6,900 warrants and 700+ evictions this year, the crisis is escalating. Women-headed households and Black renters are hit hardest, exposing deep systemic inequities. Many tenants—like Shanice Bright, who went to court without knowing free legal aid exists—navigate the system blind. Baltimore Renters United is filling that gap, offering real-time support, legal guidance, and community solidarity to empower renters and turn the tide against predatory landlords and unjust eviction practices.
