Tenants at the Center: An Equitable Path to Building Decarbonization looks at the tenant-landlord legal landscape in three U.S. cities: Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York highlighting the difficulties tenants face within those housing markets, and how decarbonization policies designed without tenant protections could make difficulties worse. At the same time, the authors recognize building decarbonization policies can benefit tenants by lowering their energy bills and creating healthier homes.
