The Renter Rights Workshop is a free interactive presentation of tenant’s legal rights and responsibilities, including the Federal and State legal protections that are in place to help individuals and families secure and maintain housing of their own choice. We will discuss how to file a complaint for discrimination with HUD and what to expect during the process. You’ll get an overview of what the eviction process is in MN and what actions can be taken if housing court is scheduled. Also covered are renter’s insurance, affordable housing and money management when looking for your next home.
