RENT SMART PROGRAM CAN HELP TENANTS

Mike Linksvayer

Many feared that the end of the federal ban on evictions would threaten to make many renters homeless. A surge in evictions didn’t happen, but it’s something still on the minds of many who rent.
A free program offered by Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Sheboygan (CCCS) can help renters feel more secure, and assure landlords of having responsible tenants. It’s called the “Rent Smart Tenant Training Program”, and it will be offered from 4-6 PM on Wednesday, October 27th at the Sheboygan County Chamber of Commerce building on South 8th Street.
Rent Smart will teach participants how to become knowledgeable tenants whether they’re currently renting or planning to in the future, and a certificate will be issued once the course is completed.
Funding is provided through the City of Sheboygan Community Development Block Grant program. Participants must register by contacting CCCS at 800-350-CCCS.
