Housing Etiquette 101

Housing Etiquette 101 is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing evictions and fostering housing stability through targeted education programs. Based in Des Moines, Iowa, we provide structured training and certification to property management companies, housing authorities, and non-profit organizations. Our 8-module curriculum equips tenants with the essential knowledge and expectations for successful housing tenancies, covering lease compliance, unit care, communication with landlords, and understanding rental agreements. By shifting from reactive enforcement to proactive education, Housing Etiquette 101 helps organizations reduce evictions and build stronger, more sustainable communities. We are committed to supporting court and eviction diversion programs, ultimately creating a more equitable and stable housing landscape for all.
