RENTER CERTIFICATION & FAIR HOUSING TRAINING:

Knowledge is power. The more tenants and landlords are familiar

with their rights and responsibilities, the easier it will be for both

to ensure their needs are met. We offer more than 20 Renter

Certification & Fair Housing trainings yearly. Taught by

specialists in Landlord-Tenant and Fair Housing, our Renter

Certification & Fair Housing training will introduce you to the

following:

Rights and responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants

Fair housing laws and how they apply to you (protected clas-

ses, disabilities and accommodations)

What landlords look for in the screening and application

process

Soft skills to help stabilize housing and minimize evictions

Community resources to assist Landlords and Tenants in se-

curing conflict free housing

All participants receive a certificate upon completion that boosts

their rental resume. It also entitles Snohomish County residents to

one free Landlord-Tenant mediation. In addition to the trainings,

Dispute Resolution Center Fair Housing counselors can meet with

tenants and landlords to discuss fair housing concerns, and prob-

lem solve next steps. These steps may include coaching, media-

tion, letter writing support, or referrals to other agencies.

Are you familiar with your rights and

responsibilities as a tenant? Do you have a

problematic rental history or you are not sure

why you’re being denied housing?

Are you a landlord looking for tenants who

have been trained in professional

communication skills and responsibilities

under Landlord-Tenant Act?
