AA Thompson Center Hosts 4 Day Ready to Rent Workshop
April 14th, 2011 by Kenneth Long
The AA Thompson Center in Southeast Raleigh is hosting a 4 day workshop for the popular Ready to Rent program.
Ready to Rent provides participants with the information and resources to gain approval to rent safe and affordable housing. While 15 participants have already registered for this event, there is still room for 5 more.
Instruction will include information regarding landlord rights and responsibilities as well as tenant rights and responsibilities. We will cover budgeting and savings tips. Finally, participants will learn how their credit is scored. This is an important step towards repairing credit, as they will find out which accounts to begin with. Some participants find that some accounts can be removed for free, while others discover which negative accounts they should focus on first.
The Ready to Rent workshop series also partners with area landlords who participate in the program. Wake County Supportive Housing currently links qualifying applicants with more than 80 housing communities located throughout Wake County, many of which specialize in lower income requirements, subsidized rent and second chance credit programs.
