Join us for this free, 6-week class series on Mondays and Wednesdays (twice per week) from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Rent Well is a tenant education class that helps renters understand their legal rights and responsibilities, connect to housing resources, and overcome barriers such as poor credit, evictions, or criminal history.
Class topics include:
- Understanding landlord expectations
- Housing laws and tenant rights
- Budgeting basics
- Affordable housing options
- Property maintenance
- Rental rules and agreements
- Professional communication
We also focus on tools you can use to get approved for housing even if your background includes things like:
- Evictions
- Poor or no credit
- Short or no rental history
- Criminal history
- Low income
- Unstable employment
- Money owed to a past landlord
