February Housing Law Sidebar
February 2 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
The Housing Law Sidebar is a time for VLN housing staff and volunteers to eat a (virtual) lunch together, learn 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 explanation of a topic by a VLN staff member, followed by questions about the topic, discussion, and time for questions or discussion on any topics of interest. Volunteers are encouraged to share stories of their experiences with housing cases with one another and maybe learn a little! This is casual and for all our volunteers – brand new and experienced alike!
In this Housing Sidebar session we are going to discuss advising and representing landlords. What advice is appropriate for a family situation where the “tenant” – often a son or daughter – is paying no rent and the parent wants to evict them? What is the proper advice for an elderly landlord trying to evict a tenant from a duplex? How does an eviction case proceed from a landlord’s perspective? We will discuss these issues and answer any questions on this topic as well a general questions. Please join us!
