What can your rental counseling services do for me?
For people who prefer to rent their living space, Cambridge offers personalized one-on-one Rental Counseling sessions. Whether you're already renting or preparing to do so, our counselors will show you effective budgeting and money management techniques that will help make your rental experience a success. We'll teach you how to review your credit report and make corrections when needed, and we'll provide information on the application process, available subsidies, and the difference between leasing and rental agreements. We'll also teach you how to apply for tenancy, the typical expenses that you'll incur as a renter, and how to properly communicate with your landlord. We'll discuss how you can recover your security deposit if you're looking to relocate, what you need to know about keeping up with necessary maintenance and repairs, and the importance of understanding your rights and responsibilities as a renter.
