Renter's Brochure
Renter Answers

Finding the right place to rent is an important decision. If you are renting for the first time, the ordeal may seem overwhelming. You probably have a lot of questions and may not know where to obtain the correct answers.
        
To help first-time renters through this process, the California Apartment Association (CAA) is distributing a free, 16-page pamphlet entitled Renting: A User Manual. The pamphlet offers tips on finding a place to rent, suggests questions to ask when applying, and describes the forms and terms used during the process of renting. Only a small amount of the information in this helpful brochure applies directly to California residents.  The rest of the information provided is great information for all renters, first-time or otherwise, to be educated on. So whether you live in Alabama or another state, this is a great renter resource.
        
Free distribution of this useful resource is part of a statewide consumer education campaign led by CAA and its local chapters. The goal of the campaign is to help renters understand the process of renting a place to live as well as their rights and responsibilities. 
        
A free copy of the colorful brochure is available through a variety of sources. Renters can view the brochure on the CAA web site at www.caanet.org in the Renters section. The brochure can be printed directly from this web site.
