We are
the All-Chicago
Tenant Alliance
The All-Chicago Tenant Alliance is the largest independant tenant organization in Chicago. We bring working class tenants across the city together to form durable tenant unions. Together, we can defend ourselves from landlord exploitation and abuse. Join the tenant movement today to fight against landlord dominance. A world without landlords is possible.

Rent Strike Fund
Support Chicago tenant unions on strike.
The ACTA Rent Strike fund is a pool of money to cover the risk tenants take when going on rent strike. This money will only go towards legal fees and support for tenants who have engaged in a rent strike. The most significant benefit of a strike fund is the insurance it gives us in the event of defeat: court fees. If the tenants have to back down, the fund will support any costs they incur.
If you are considering going on strike with your tenant union, contact us for more information about the fund.
