Electrification of what?
I advocate "Beneficial Electrification." That is the use of electricity, rather than fossil fuels, in end-use applications. For instance, adopting electric vehicles and replacing furnaces or boilers with heat pumps. Doing this reduces GHG emissions and increases efficiency.

Renters often get heat for free but typically have to pay for electricity. How do you think about the financial implications of making this transition for working class people?

No one gets "heat for free." For many, its cost is hidden in the rent. So, anything that costs the landlord less should create less motive to increase rents. Heat pumps can provide central heating just like fossil fueled systems. So, heat would still be provided without charge.
