Rent Smart Webinars in English
Solid Ground’s Tenant Services offers educational webinars in English and Spanish to help Washington state renters understand their rights and responsibilities under state landlord/tenant law.
Rent Smart is offered in partnership with The Seattle Public Library (SPL) and King County Library System (KCLS). Tenant Law Center attorneys may be available during presentations for general legal information, and we share legal aid resources during each presentation. Please register separately for each webinar! You’ll receive an email with a Zoom link 24 hours before each event. You can connect to Rent Smart webinars by computer or phone. Both KCLS and SPL have information about accommodations for people with disabilities on their event pages.
