Tuesday, September 15 | 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Pacific Time
Has your landlord increased your rent? Are you unable to make your rent this month? Will you be evicted – and if so, how does that work? Do you think you should move out to protect yourself? Join us to learn from Solid Ground’s tenant counselors about current laws on rent increase and housing stabilization, an overview of the legal eviction process, and information on the moving out process and getting your deposit back.
Register here - Rent Smart: Mold & Your Rights as a Tenant
Tuesday, November 17 | 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Pacific Time
Mold is a serious problem in the Pacific Northwest. It poses serious health risks to people who live in rentals with mold – and many tenants don’t know their rights or understand Washington state’s Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RLTA) laws on dealing with mold. Join us to learn from Solid Ground’s tenant counselors about how to recognize when a house has a mold problem, what the RLTA states about mold and tenants’ rights, landlords’ responsibilities to solve mold and repair problems, and what you should and can do as a tenant if mold problems are not remedied.
