National Center on Law & Elder Rights: Eviction Defense 2.0: Challenging Issues Facing Older Tenants At Risk of Eviction

Eviction Defense 2.0: Challenging Issues Facing Older Tenants At Risk of Eviction

When: Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET.

Older tenants who are facing financial, cognitive, and other challenges are at heightened risk for eviction and displacement. This advanced webcast training will cover the relevant legal authority for combating evictions.

The presenter will also share:

• Information on using reasonable accommodations as a tool to combat evictions, with a particular focus on the challenges faced by older tenants.
• Guidance for advocates to address challenging scenarios involving hoarding and tenants alleged to be a direct threat to other tenants and the property. 
• Hypothetical examples of combating evictions.

This is NCLER’s second training on assisting older tenants facing eviction, and builds on last year's training, Legal Basics: Helping Older Tenants Remain at Home. Read the Chapter Summary and watch the recording.

Presenters: Kara Brodfuehrer, Staff Attorney, National Housing Law Project
