On June 10th, HOME Line hosted a free webinar to share information about current legal issues that Minnesota renters are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic–the recording is below. We also briefly covered several new ordinances impacting tenant screening, security deposits, and relocation benefits that recently went into effect in Minneapolis. The webinar is designed for an audience of tenants, service providers, and other individuals who are involved in or interested in assisting renters. We’re hosting another webinar next week–details are here.
