There is currently a lack of articles covering tenant history, the goal is to improve and widen the scope of articles on tenant subjects in general on Wikipedia. Focusing primarily on the history of land ownership and tenant advocacy. Currently there is limited information on this topic.

This project would seek to gather articles together, and organize efforts.

1. To create, expand, and globalize, articles related to tenant organizing.
2. To create and expand articles for individual tenant unions and history.
