People interested in participating in the city of Toledo’s next Tenant Tuesday housing clinic have until Tuesday to register for the event.

The city of Toledo, in collaboration with Legal Aid of Western Ohio, the Fair Housing Center, Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, the Toledo Bar Association, and the University of Toledo Law School Advocacy Clinic, will offer a free legal counseling event on Oct. 22.

Attendees will need to bring a copy of their lease and will be able to meet with an attorney for about 20 minutes. The experts will be available to offer advice on issues such as lease reviews, rent escrow, housing conditions, eviction records, and landlord-related concerns. 

“Too often, tenants are unable to obtain simple legal advice that would improve their housing circumstances,” said Coleena Ali, the city’s manager of Tenant and Landlord Services. “With the Tenant Tuesday Housing Clinic, they will be able to meet with an attorney to discuss their particular situation and receive sound advice.”

Participants need to pre-register by calling 419-245-1400 or by visiting toledo.oh.gov/tenant-tuesday.
