Menasha Rent Smart March 13 and 15

Rent Smart is a two-part class that will be offered Tuesday, March 13th and Thursday, March 15th, 2012, from 9:00AM-12:00 pm (NOON) at the Menasha Public Library, located at 440 First St., Menasha, WI.

Rent Smart is a tenant training program that provides practical education to help people acquire and maintain decent housing. Rent Smart emphasizes skills that can help tenants avoid legal confrontations. It stresses tenant responsibilities and the advantage of a quality landlord/tenant relationship opposed to an adversarial one.

Tenants learn about and practice skills that better prepare them for renting. By learning what’s expected up front, tenants can prepare ahead to demonstrate that they can be a good tenant.

To register or request further information on Rent Smart, please call the Winnebago County UW-Extension Office at (920) 232-1970. Additionally, you may download the full 2012 Rent Smart Workshop schedule here.
