Rent Well Classes
A Rent Well class provides a future tenant with useful skills such as budgeting, landlord communication strategies, tenant rights, etc. Each class lasts several weeks, totaling 15-18 hours, and provides a certificate of completion. Having the certificate often gives an applicant an edge over other applicants and landlords sometimes get financial incentives for accepting Rent Well graduates. Some agencies provide Rent Well classes to their clients, but two locations that offer classes to the general public are listed below:
Lifeability
503-941-0126. Cost is $50. Call to register.
