ASUM Renter Center
About Us
We provide personalized support to student renters as they navigate living off-campus. Through our one-on-one counseling, we help students understand their rights under the Montana Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, draft grievance and protest letters, and connect students with other community resources that can meet their individual needs. If you are unable to resolve a conflict with our assistance, we can then refer you to ASUM Legal Services which offers expert legal advice and representation.
Mission
The ASUM renter center is a student advocacy organization dedicated to enhancing renters’ rights, promoting policy change, and conducting education and neighborhood outreach.
