Tenants who participate in tenant education opportunities have a better understanding of their legal rights as well as the responsibilities associated with being a good tenant.  A tenant education curriculum may include financial topics, guidance on understanding legal documents such as rental agreements, home organization and basic maintenance skills, and communication tips for working with landlords.  Tenant education classes can help set the foundation for a positive relationship between the landlord and tenant.

CMCA has identified a need for both landlord and tenant education opportunities.  CMCA is in the process of determining a curriculum designed to promote responsible and mutually beneficial relationships between tenants and landlords.  Updates will be made to this page once education opportunities have been launched.
