When it comes to tenant issues—your lease is everything. Landlords often try to take advantage of tenants by violating lease agreements or including unfair terms. Knowing how to read your lease and understanding what to watch out for is essential to protecting yourself and pushing back against landlord abuse.

During this week’s meeting on Monday, March 9, we’ll have a popular education discussion about how to read your lease, what’s standard in most leases, and the key things to look out for. Bring your reading glasses, your lease, and your questions!

Cuando se trata de cuestiones relacionadas con los inquilinos, el contrato de renta lo es todo. Los propietarios suelen aprovecharse de los inquilinos incumpliendo los contratos de renta o incluyendo cláusulas abusivas. Saber leer el contrato de renta y comprender qué aspectos hay que tener en cuenta es fundamental para protegerse y defenderse de los abusos de los propietarios.

Durante la reunión de esta semana, el lunes 9 de marzo, tendremos una discusión de educación popular sobre cómo leer su contrato de renta, qué es lo normal en la mayoría de los contratos y los aspectos clave a los que hay que prestar atención. ¡Trae tus lentes de lectura, tu contrato de renta y tus preguntas!

Como siempre, habrá comida, cuidado de niñes y tiempo para discutir cualquier tema relacionado con los inquilinos que la gente quiera compartir.

Lunes, 9 de marzo, 5:30 a 8:00
