Undocumented Tenants/Inquilinos indocumentados

If you are undocumented, you still have tenant rights. The landlord can not threaten you because of your immigration status if you are not able to pay rent. If they do, you can report them to the New York City Commission on Human Rights by calling 311.

Si no está documentado, aún tiene derechos de inquilino. El casero no puede amenazarlo debido a su estado migratorio si no puede pagar la renta. Si lo hacen, puede denunciarlos a la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de la Ciudad de Nueva York llamando al 311.

If you are unable to pay rent, there are organizations who are helping those who are undocumented. Call our hotline at (212) 962-4795 to get screened
