Join us for a live virtual workshop

Have you had a repair or pest issue that a landlord just would not fix? This virtual workshop will share red flags, best practices, and options for addressing an unsafe living environment while protecting your housing. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a one-on-one consultation.

About the virtual workshop:

The virtual workshops 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 provides a safe place to live.

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

After the virtual workshop, a limited number of attendees will have the opportunity for a 15-minute consultation with a member of our team to discuss specific legal questions related to their housing situation.

NOTE: Although service providers are welcome, this virtual workshop is specifically designed for tenants with disabilities, with a focus on their questions and perspectives.
