Tenant Experiences in Corporate Landlord Housing

Last Spring 2023, students from the Qualitative Methods in Geography course, taught by Dr. Michelle Zuñiga, partnered with Jessica Moreno from Action NC to conduct a community-engaged project focused on understanding tenant’s experiences living in corporate landlord housing in Charlotte, NC. One of the major outcomes of the class was a report highlighting the themes that emerged from 30 interviews with tenants and participant observations including canvassing neighborhoods and attending county commissioner meetings.

Please find below the final report titled, “Understanding Tenant Experiences Living in Corporate Landlord Housing in Charlotte, NC” detailing the research questions, class’s approach to carrying out the study, major findings, and policy recommendations.
