What happens when the fight for tenants' rights crosses international borders? Join us as we uncover the fascinating journey of Matthew Johnson, a dedicated attorney and board member of the Oregon State Tenants Association (OSTA). From his early days navigating the legal landscape at Legal Aid in Lane County, Oregon, to practicing law in Micronesia, Matthew's path is nothing short of inspiring. Listen in as he shares his transformation into a key advocate for urgent tenant cases, his specialization in park law for manufactured home communities, and his commitment to representing unions, all while being deeply involved with OSTA since the late '90s.
Discover the pressing challenges mobile home park residents and apartment dwellers face in today's volatile rental market. We dive deep into critical issues such as rent increases, rent control, and the shift in park ownership to large investment companies. Matthew sheds light on how these changes affect maintenance, infrastructure, and living conditions, particularly for low-income residents. Learn about the legal intricacies involved in managing community issues, from illegal activities to the often ineffective legal procedures that result in minimal penalties. Stay tuned to find out how you can get involved with OSTA and keep informed through their newsletter.
