About the webinar:

Many people living in community care facilities do not know their rights. This webinar will explain those rights, including the right to privacy, safe and comfortable living conditions, the right to practice their religion, to have visitors and be free from harm. We will also inform participants about different types of evictions, how to fight an eviction and how landlord-tenant laws apply to board and care facilities.
