August Housing Law Chat & Chew

The Chat and Chew is a time for VLN housing staff and volunteers to eat a (virtual) lunch together, chat about a housing topic, and socialize with one another. This is an informal event. There will be no power point presentations, but instead a brief introduction to a topic by a VLN staff member, followed by a discussion. Volunteers are encouraged to share stories of their experiences with housing cases with one another, and maybe learn a little – and of course, do some chewing too! This is casual and for all our volunteers – brand new and experienced alike!

In this Chat ‘N’ Chew we will discuss Emergency Tenant Remedies Actions. What are the prerequisites? What qualifies as an “emergency?” How does the case proceed? This will be especially helpful for volunteers that do phone advice but will also help all volunteers who advise clients on repair issues. Please join us!
