Who this is for
Tenants. Landlords, property owners, and property managers are not members of this network, and that is not a technicality we plan to relax. Anyone who rents their home is welcome regardless of what kind of housing it is, whether that is an apartment, a house, a manufactured home park, a marina, or an RV space.
It is built by and for trans and gender-expansive Oregonians and open to every tenant. No one is turned away.
What goes on the map
A property belongs on the map if it is publicly supported housing in Multnomah, Washington, or Clackamas county, and if what we say about it can be traced to a public government record. Every entry carries its sources and the date we last checked them.
What we say, and what we refuse to say
We publish what the record says: locations, unit counts, income levels, affordability timelines, which law applies, owner and manager as filed with the state, inspection results as recorded, open code cases as recorded.
We do not publish a verdict that a landlord is good or bad, safe or unsafe, or that a building is well run or badly run. We cannot know that from a spreadsheet, and a judgment we cannot back is worse than no judgment. A clean inspection and a terrible manager can live at the same address.
There is no rating, no ranking, no score, and no list of villains. This is an awareness project, not an enforcement one.
Corrections
Public data has errors in it, and so will we. Corrections are welcome from anyone, including owners and managers. Send the property name and what you believe is wrong, ideally with a pointer to the source that says otherwise, to eli@werqt.org. We fix the entry and update its last-checked date.
Telling us something
You never have to identify yourself. We do not need your name to check a date or fix a bad unit count, and we will not ask about your own housing situation in order to take a report seriously.
If you do tell us something personal, it stays with us. We will not repeat it, publish it, or attach it to a property entry. Nothing you tell us ends up on the map.
In the community and in clinics
- What someone shares about their housing in a clinic or a community thread stays there.
- Do not post another tenant's name, unit number, or situation.
- Disagree with the idea, not the person. People arrive here stressed, and often at the worst moment of a housing crisis.
- No recruiting, selling, or pitching services to members.
- We remove people who harass others, out someone, or bring a landlord's interests into a tenant space.
What we will not do
- Charge a tenant for anything. No dues, no fees, no paid tier, ever.
- Require an account to see public information.
- Give anyone's information to a landlord, a property manager, or law enforcement.
- Publish a personal complaint in a way that identifies the person who made it.
- Replace the organizers who do this work. Portland Tenants United and the Community Alliance of Tenants organize tenants where they live. We teach the law, maintain the map, and make the introduction.
- Give legal advice. When you need a lawyer, we hand you the number of a free one.
If you are having a hard time
Housing trouble is exhausting and it is not a personal failing. For crisis support, call or text 988, or reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860. For eviction defense, tenant rights, and rent help, the hotlines on the home page are answered by people who do this every day, most of them free.
