Who Should Attend RentSmart?
RentSmart is for anyone who is a new tenant, 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. The rental market is complex - there is always a lot to learn.
Landlords want good tenants and 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.
RentSmart Certificate lets landlords know you know how to be a good tenant - Get RentSmart!
Financial assistance may be available to people with low-income for transportation and childcare.
