The Winnebago County UW-Extension office runs a free program titled “Rent Smart” that is open to the public, and we would like to announce our upcoming 2-day workshop on September 19 and 21 from 6:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. at Father Carr’s Place 2B (Mother Teresa Center).
Rent Smart is a program that provides practical education to help people looking for rental housing to find, get and keep suitable housing. Rent Smart sessions cover:
- Tenant and landlord rights and responsibilities
- Things to think about when looking for a place to live
- How to read a lease – know what you are signing
- How to complete a rental inspection and a check-in/check-out form
- Strategies to get your security deposit back at the end of your lease
