Hotline Services:
Minnesota renters call our tenant hotline to get free legal advice on their rental housing problems from attorneys and volunteers. In 2015 we took over 14,700 calls from renters. Attorneys and volunteers give legal and practical advice on issues like evictions, security deposits, repairs, leases, bed bugs, and more. Our advice helps Minnesota tenants save money in wrongfully withheld security deposits, fees, and more.
We cannot provide this critical service without your help. Volunteers are what make HOME Line’s hotline a successful and effective program.
