Advocacy
It is critical to understand how housing can impact the fabric of a community. WAVE views our role as an advocate for support.
We have observed that individuals who understand their rights as tenants tend to be more successful in obtaining good outcomes from conversations with landlords. We provide a bridge between the two parties, in order to ensure that both sides have their needs met.
We have experienced instances when we had to approach the Landlord/Property Manager to educate them on the “Rights of a Resident.” More importantly, we have worked to help property managers learn that it is not possible to promote lease enforcement without respecting the humanity of each tenant.
Helping landlords expand their perspectives and better understand residents’ viewpoints has been difficult, but has offered a great opportunity for growth. We have created a trusted relationship on both sides of the “Landlord/Tenant” relationship and act as a liaison between the resident and the landlord.
