Beginning November 1, HOME Line is providing low-cost legal services for renters in Minneapolis. For as little as $25, renters from Minneapolis will be able to consult in-person or over the phone with an experienced tenant landlord attorney on rental issues that affect them.
This service is being offered in response to the announced closing of Minneapolis Housing Services (612-673-3003) on December 31, 2011. Ideally, we would have enough financial support to eventually serve Minneapolis with the same free services we currently offer throughout the state. HOME Line hopes to bridge some of the gap that will be created when the Housing Services shut down permanently.
HOME Line will offer legal consultations and several other legal services at reduced costs, available to all Minneapolis renters. We hope to meet the needs of those tenants who don’t qualify for Legal Aid (612-334-5970), but also don’t have enough income to afford their own attorneys. Minneapolis renters affected by landlord foreclosure will continue to receive free legal advice by calling our hotline: 612-728-5767 (mention the foreclosure in your message).
Minneapolis renters interested in low-cost legal consultations can learn more and sign up at homelinemn.org/minneapolis or call our hotline at 612-728-5767 and listen for the Minneapolis instructions.
