NLIHC will host the next session of “Tenant Talk Live,” a meeting geared toward tenant and resident leaders, today (Monday, May 6) at 6 pm ET. The meeting will feature guest LaKita Steel, who will lead a discussion about how best to ensure the return of a security deposit. Register for the meeting here.
Whether you’re a tenant receiving federal subsidies or someone renting in the private market, navigating the process of paying for and reclaiming your security deposit can be difficult. In this session, Ms. Steel will share valuable tips about how best to secure the return of a deposit. While this month’s session will focus on strategies to retain a security deposit, NLIHC remains committed to advocacy efforts aimed at relieving renters of undue financial burdens. These efforts include endorsement of the “Delivering Essential Protection, Opportunity, and Security for Tenants (DEPOSIT) Act,” which, if enacted, would enable the Section 8 and HOME programs to provide assistance with security deposits and moving costs for individuals utilizing Housing Choice Vouchers.
“Tenant Talk Live” meetings are held the first Monday of every month at 6 pm ET. If you are unable to attend Monday’s meeting, you can still view upcoming or past Tenant Talk Live recordings on our Working Group webpage.
