Who Should Attend RentSmart?
RentSmart is for anyone who is a new tenant who has faced barriers to housing in the past or is unfamiliar with tenants' rights and responsibilities. It builds knowledge, confidence and skills so people can make better decisions about rental housing. Even those who are happy with their present housing can benefit from RentSmart.
Landlords want good tenants. They also want their tenants to be good neighbours. If you are a landlord and feel one of your tenants would benefit from this program, inform the tenant of the program and have them register to take this free training.
