About the webinar:
Many Californians rely on emotional support animals and/or service animals to assist them with their disability related needs. Unfortunately, many tenants and landlords are unaware of the laws and regulations governing these assistance animals. This training will discuss these issues in an easy-to-understand way to help ensure that all Californians have access to the assistance they need.
