Current or Former Fairfield Properties Tenants on Long Island — We’re Organizing

If you currently live—or previously lived—at any Fairfield Properties apartment complex on Long Island, I want to hear from you.

We are organizing the Fairfield Tenants Association, an independent group created to connect Fairfield tenants across Long Island. For too long, individual residents have had to fight their battles alone: maintenance problems, construction disruptions, lost parking or amenities, poor communication, security-deposit disputes, unexplained fees, safety concerns, and complaints that seem to go nowhere.

That dynamic changes when tenants organize.

Fairfield is a massive landlord. One tenant complaining can be ignored. Hundreds or potentially thousands of organized tenants documenting the same practices cannot be dismissed nearly as easily.

Once organized, we can collectively document complaints, bring patterns of conduct to the New York Attorney General and other government agencies, contact elected officials as a unified organization, involve municipal code and fire officials when safety issues arise, consult tenant-rights attorneys collectively, demand meetings with Fairfield ownership and management, pursue appropriate legal remedies, and bring well-documented problems to Long Island media.

And consider the collective economic power tenants potentially have. Imagine the leverage leverage tenants could have if they stopped acting as isolated individuals and started acting collectively.

Fairfield depends on its tenants. There is strength in numbers.

We're looking for both current and former Fairfield residents. Visit the Fairfield Tenants Association website, join for free, and tell us about your experiences:

Fairfield Tenants Association

If you have photographs, screenshots, correspondence, or other documentation of problems you've experienced with Fairfield, you can also send them to fairfieldtenantsassociation@gmail.com.

And please share the website with other Fairfield residents. The goal is bigger than one apartment complex or one tenant's complaint. It's to build a Long Island-wide organization capable of holding Fairfield management accountable when tenants believe they are being treated unfairly.
