*As of October 1st, 2019, the Tenant Resource Center no longer has the funding necessary to respond to calls or answer emails from individuals outside of Dane County regarding questions about tenant-landlord rights and responsibilities. This means that for the first time in decades we have to disregard questions from individuals outside of Dane County as we can not pay staff to return these calls or answer these emails. This means that we cannot answer questions of people who walk through our doors who reside outside of Dane County. This means that both our staff and the individuals in need of our services are placed in awful situations. This means we need you help right away!
