Founded in 2006 as a grassroots tenant-organizing and advocacy group, incorporated in 2008, and established as a non-profit in 2009, People Against Landlord Abuse and Tenant Exploitation (P.A.'L. A.N.T.E.) began as an informal group of tenant associations formed in response to deteriorating conditions in three buildings in Harlem, all owned by the same landlord who was illegally attempting to remove rent stabilized apartments from rent regulation.

Over the years, P.A.'L.A.N.T.E. has grown and expanded the services it offers, but its mission has remained the same: to end tenant exploitation in order to enable low-income community residents to remain in their homes and ensure that those homes are safe and affordable. P.A.'L.A.N.T.E. does this primarily by organizing and empowering residents to hold negligent owners and property managers accountable.
