Rent Right gives program participants the tools and skills to utilize their available resources, manage their money and find housing in an extremeley competetive and expensive housing market. By the end of the course, students have developed a comprehensive "renter's portfolio" to present to prospective landlords, which includes a family budget, annotated credit report, and letters of recommendation. Skills learned: Budgeting, credit repair, landlord and tenant relations, home maintenance, housing search, and personal presentation.
