Webinar:
All About Your Rights When Living in a Board and Care Facility

About the webinar:

This webinar will detail the rights people have while living in a licensed board and care facility. Topics will include rights regarding living conditions, privacy and landlord-tenant rights.

Many people living in community care facilities do not know their rights. This webinar will explain those rights, including the right to privacy and safe and comfortable living conditions and the right to practice their religion, 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.
