NIMBY By Design: How Renters’ Voices Go Unheard

Think about where you lay your head at night: Whether it’s an apartment, a house or a condo, do you own the place you sleep in?

While it’s more common to own a home than to rent one, there are more people renting now in the United States than at any point since 1965.

More than 45 million households in this country are rentals—that’s more than a third of all households in the United States, made up of more than 100 million residents.

And if you’re one of those 100 million renters, one University of Denver researcher says, you’re at a disadvantage. You’re a legal tenant—but are you being treated as one?

On this episode of RadioEd, Emma chats with Sarah Schindler, a professor at DU’s Sturm College of Law and a property and land use scholar, about the multitude of ways that renters are treated as second-class citizens in the eyes of the law.

Sarah Schindler is nationally recognized for her scholarship, which focuses on property, land use, local government, and sustainable development. Her articles have been widely praised as creative and insightful additions to these fields.

At DU, Schindler teaches property, land use, local government, real estate transactions, and animal law. Schindler is a musician, a vegan, a mountain climbing enthusiast, and an avid urban cyclist. She lives in Denver with her husband, son, and dog.
