The City of San Antonio is stepping up for its renters this Fair Housing Month, throwing open the doors to a slew of free sessions aimed at getting the lowdown on tenant rights and housing resources. Hitting ahead of potential housing woes, San Antonio's RentWise SA campaign is something of a lifeline, pulling together renter information sessions and a series of educational videos that stick to the facts about fair housing practices.

In a move to fully support both renters and rental housing providers, the city isn't shying away from its responsibilities. They are looking to fully lay out the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the rental landscape. With the Fair Housing Council of South Texas in tow, these sessions are primed to cover everything from leases to evictions – essentials in maintaining a fair housing market. Attendees will have a chance to pick the brains of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Certified Housing Counselors, who are set to provide guidance on all matters rental, including a much-needed helping hand for those teetering on the edge of foreclosure or in the grips of mortgage drama.

But wait, there's more – the city isn't stopping at in-person sessions. They're looking to seriously bulk up tenant's toolkits with educational videos tackling a spread of topics such as rental assistance, eviction prevention, and busting through unfair discrimination. Keeping inclusivity at its core, these resources aren't just in English; they're launching in Spanish and American Sign Language too.

Interested folks can to easily find a schedule for the RentWise SA shindig or eye the videos online. A visit to the NHSD Renter Resources page SA.gov/TenantsRights spells out the nitty-gritty details on rights and responsibilities as a renter. It's not just about English speakers either – sessions are available in Spanish, making sure the message of fair housing rights resounds through all quarters of the city.
