Listening. Learning. Improving California's Rental Experience.
About the Project

An independent housing research initiative.

The California Rental Experience Project was founded by Ramon Pasos in 2026 to build a transparent, nonpartisan record of how rental housing is advertised and experienced across California. Reports are published under the organization so that many people can contribute over time without changing how the work is cited.
