The Government of the Student Body and city of Ames are hoping to raise awareness of tenant rights with Rent Smart Ames.

GSB and representatives from the city of Ames will be in the Memorial Union on Dec. 2 to speak to students about Rent Smart Ames, an online tool to help people understand renting in Ames.

The program is focused on three areas: rental housing, tenant education and landlord education.

Zach Bauer, senior in political science and intern with the city of Ames, worked with landlords in Ames to create the content on the site.

Students can stop in the Memorial Union throughout the day to ask specific questions about the initiative.
