When a Client Asks: “Is This Legal?”- Navigating Tenant Rights & Legal Referrals

About This Event

When a Client Asks: “Is This Legal?”

Can my landlord evict me? What happens if my landlord refuses to make repairs? Where can I turn if I experience housing discrimination?

For settlement professionals and community partners supporting newcomers and refugees, knowing how to respond to legal questions, and when to refer clients to appropriate services, is essential.

Join the Bridge Together Project for an interactive virtual workshop exploring tenant rights, housing concerns, and legal referrals.
