CLINTON HILL — Having trouble with your landlord? A group offering free advice on what to do about it opened up shop in new offices at 1124 Fulton St. last week.

The Pratt Area Community Council — which was founded in 1964 to fight for affordable housing and tenants' rights in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill and has since expanded to a variety of programs across Brooklyn — takes walk-in clients twice a week.

Tiara McLaughlin, an organizer at the Council, said she and other organizers provide free support as well as services from legal clinics to lead testing.

Walk-ins are welcome Wednesdays and Fridays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., or you can call 718-522-2613, extension 032 or 025, to make an appointment.
