Habitability and Tenants’ Rights
Habitability and Tenants’ Rights
Join us for a live webinar
Have you had a repair or pest issue that a landlord just would not fix? This workshop will share red flags, best practices, and options for addressing an unsafe living environment while protecting your housing. After the workshop there will be an opportunity for tenants with disabilities to have a one-on-one consultation with a member of the Housing Stability Project (HSP).
When:
Tuesday, February 18, 2025
1:00 PM
Pacific Time
This webinar will be repeated on the third Tuesday of every month.
Can’t attend this month’s event? Join us next on Tuesday, March 18th.
About the webinar:
This workshop will help tenants with disabilities understand their basic rights, and what steps to take to get safe and habitable housing. We will discuss examples of habitability problems and what tenants can do to make sure the housing provider maintains the property and gives tenants a safe place to live.
After the workshop, there will be a limited number of spots for attendees to have a 15-minute consultation about specific legal questions for their housing situation with a member of the HSP team.
Join us as we discuss:
- The Implied Warranty of Habitability
- Landlords’ Responsibilities
- Tenants’ Responsibilities
- What to do if you are experiencing issues
- Options and Remedies
NOTE: Though service providers are welcome, this workshop is designed for tenants with disabilities and the focus will be their questions and perspectives.
