Tenants, renters, housing providers, landlords, property managers and members of the public are invited to attend a free virtual training addressing Tenant Rights on Thursday, Sept. 28 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Zoom. The clinic is open to all who are interested in learning about no-cost mediation and conflict resolution services, and about the new Oregon law HB 2001 that changes procedures concerning eviction notices, overdue rent rules and use of rental assistance.
Legal and mediation professionals will be featured guest speakers and available during the online event to help clarify legal and non-legal housing issues, and conflict resolution options and opportunities to prevent evictions that lead to homelessness.
The clinic will address important issues for both sides, from rent payment delays to fines, conflicts, and how to work together on possible solutions before an eviction case is filed in court. Clackamas County Law Librarian Jennifer Dalglish will facilitate the event.
