Largely focusing on the areas of Flatbush, Midwood, Kings Highway, Gravesend, and Sheepshead Bay, the Brooklyn Tenant provides local news coverage of politics, education, and housing concerns. Birth announcements, wedding announcements, and obituaries do not appear in the paper. The paper is largely devoted to news related to rental properties, renter's rights, and housing issues. News of the Flatbush Tenants Council is regularly covered. Consistent coverage is also given to the Koch/Cuomo mayoral primary. Advertisements and photographs appear throughout.
