Zoom Webinar

Description

Access to housing is an essential right of all people. The ability to maintain those rights requires both tenants and landlords to follow the law, but sometimes tenants require protection from unjust evictions. This session will address Virginia and Federal laws that assist landlords, tenants, and homeowners with issues surrounding housing access in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
