#RentisRigged
Rent Is Rigged is a statewide effort to address the housing crisis by organizing communities, advancing solutions, and building long-term power.
The reality of housing in Arizona
Across Arizona, rising everyday expenses are pushing families beyond what is sustainable.
For many households, even full-time work is no longer enough to keep up, making it harder to afford housing, utilities, and basic needs.
Rents increased by approximately 47% between 2019–2022.
Home prices rose by approximately 56% during the same period.
Eviction filings in Maricopa County remain near record highs.
Renters continue to face junk fees, rising utility costs, and unpredictable increases.
#RentisRigged takes a multi-pronged approach, focusing on accountability and community leadership to drive real change.

Strengthening tenant power through organizing, education, and advocacy to address rent increases, eviction pressures, and unfair housing practices.
