The State College Borough would like to explore possible approaches to helping reduce tenant and landlord conflicts and is interested in learning how other communities address these issues. They’re especially interested in learning about other communities’ experiences with holding workshops for tenants and/or landlords, and the best practices for doing so. In addition, they’re interested in learning about experiences of communities which have a housing ombudsman program, and/or a housing or tenants resource center. A team of students identified communities which proactively address tenant and landlord issues, and develop case studies about what those communities do, the effectiveness of those efforts, and how these are financed, most ideal from another university towns or otherwise have a relatively large population of young renters.
