Our Secondary Choice for study is the Tenant Resource Center, located on Williamson St. in Madison, the TRC is a resource for tenants, landlords, law enforcement officials and anyone with a housing resource question. As they state on their website:
“Tenant Resource Center (TRC) offers free counseling for tenants and landlords interested in learning more about their rental rights and responsibilities. Information on state and local rental laws and regulations and lease screening services are available at TRC. We can also refer clients to other agencies when appropriate to assist them with their needs.” [1]
Further, they describe their staff :
Tenant Resource Center (TRC) is a non-profit membership organization with a small staff that relies primarily on volunteers to provide housing counseling, mediation services and office assistance.[2]
As an information agency, they are a clearinghouse for all issues of tenancy from both the perspective of the landlord and the tenant. The TRC can assist with tenant/landlord relations and has links out to organizations within the community and the state of Wisconsin dealing with issues of tenancy and renting, as well as resources for low cost and transitional housing. They also sponsor a variety of workshops that help landlord and law enforcement officials to understand the laws of tenancy in Wisconsin. They also address other important housing issues that help alleviate housing crises for various vulnerable populations, like those in transitional or shelter housing situations, and for tenants facing eviction and/or utilities issues.
