Rent Smart provides practical education to help people looking for rental housing to acquire and keep decent housing.
Rent Smart emphasizes skills that may help tenants avoid legal confrontations. It stresses both tenant and landlord responsibilities and the advantages gained from viewing the landlord-tenant relationship as mutually beneficial rather than confrontational.
Target Audience: The program is designed to help persons who have never rented or are having difficulty obtaining rental housing. This difficulty may arise from lack of experience, poor rental history, poor credit history or other issues that cause potential landlords to perceive them as high risk tenants.
Topics covered include:
How Much Will it Cost?
Money for Rent
Making the Most of Your Credit Report
Finding a Place to Live
Checking Out the Rental Unit and the Landlord
The Rental Application Process
Understanding Rental Agreements
Maintenance:Who is Responsible for What?
Home Maintenance: Keeping it Safe & Clean
