Program registration is recommended but not required. To register, please contact the branch by calling (410) 396‑0399 or emailing pnn@prattlibrary.org. Pratt is excited to welcome the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland’s Tenant Justice Program (TJP) for a series of programs supporting renter/tenant rights. The Tenant Justice Program provides free legal representation to tenants at risk of eviction in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. They also work to provide increased housing stability for clients through individual connections to resources and advice on how to meet financial obligations. TJP engages in systemic advocacy to help level the playing field for all tenants state-wide. Representatives from TJP will be providing an overview of state and local laws impacting tenants, tenants’ rights, and effective strategies for working with landlords, accessing additional supports, and navigating the court system. Time will be reserved for individual questions and advice.
