On August 26th, HOME Line hosted a free webinar to share information about current legal issues that Minnesota renters are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This week we had another guest speaker: William Dane, Senior Staff Attorney, University of MN Student Legal Services. He covered what student renters need to know about their rights during COVID-19.
