The resource fairs move to different locations each month in hopes of meeting people where they are. Some of the services they provide are: legal assistance, employment opportunities, and health services.

Renter Resource Fairs

Salt Lake City hosts Renter Resource Fairs throughout the year, typically once each season. The fair is an opportunity for renters to learn about their rights, meet other Salt Lake City renters, and connect with service providers. Service providers table at the event to share resources or provide on site services. Services range from legal assistance for eviction prevention to tenant landlord mediation to resolve disputes. The fair will include a brief presentation on one or more topics related to renting or tenant rights. Click on the button below for more information on these events.
