Free Rent Smart Tenant Rights Workshop 9/23

Want to know more about your rights as a renter? Wondering how to get your deposit back or request a repair? Would you like to know how the new changes in the laws impact renters? Solid Ground Tenant Counselors are hosting a FREE Rent Smart Workshop for the community next Tuesday, September 23rd from 6 to 8, at Solid Ground.

At this tenant’s rights workshop, they will provide information about the landlord-tenant laws in Washington State and discuss the laws and ordinances that apply throughout the housing search process, move-in, during tenancy, move-out and eviction. Bring your questions!
Since there is no agency that enforces the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act in our state, it is largely up to tenants to understand the laws and know their rights in order to take appropriate action to effectively enforce them. They will talk about some tips and best practices for renters to help you assert your rights and have a successful tenancy – whether you are signing a rental agreement, requesting repairs or have questions about your privacy rights.

Especially with recent changes and additions to the laws, challenging situations can arise for tenants. There are remedies available to tenants if a landlord is not complying with the laws, but tenants have to know those remedies are available in order to use them. Knowing the laws and what steps to take, tenants can take action to correct the problem.

If you would to attend the workshop, please RSVP to the Solid Ground Tenant Services Workshop & Advocacy Line at 206.694.6748 or email tenantwa@solid-ground.org.
Metro Bus routes 16 and 44 will get you there


FREE “Rent Smart” Tenant Rights Workshop
Tuesday, September 23rd  
6:00 – 8:00 pm
Solid Ground
For more information, visit the website solid-ground.org/Tenant or call the Tenant Services Hotline 206.694.6767 which is open Mondays, Wednesdays & Thursdays from 10:30 am—4:30 pm.
