For Minneapolis renters who need legal advice regarding a landlord, more help is now available.
Home Line, a nonprofit located at 3455 Bloomington Avenue, is adding low-cost legal services for all Minneapolis renters. For as little as $25, renters will be able to consult in person or over the phone with an experienced attorney.
“Renters need to be informed so they don’t get taken advantage of,” says Home Line Director Beth Kodluboy. “Talking to an attorney can save renters a lot of trouble and money.” HOME Line’s four staff attorneys have a combined 36 years advising over 44,000 Minnesota renters. Through consulting with an attorney, renters can find out what is important to review in a lease, how to sue landlords in conciliation court and how to deal with privacy intrusions.
