Handling Residential Tenant Infractions

After lockdowns, moratoriums, and social distancing, the world has changed considerably, and the problems encountered by landlords and tenants have likewise increased dramatically. The rise in bullying, disturbances, and inappropriate behavior has created instances where action is needed to protect the parties' rights to health, welfare, or safety.

Experienced faculty guide you through the process for addressing those problems, both from the landlord and tenant perspective, including when to take action (and when not to), deciding whether there are agencies or entities that can provide intervention or assistance, and what action must be taken prior to and during the court process to avoid liability. Learn how behavior related to a tenant's disability requires even more careful and deliberate analysis to protect both parties' rights.

Issues can also arise between tenants in neighboring units in the same building, or in the same household. Hear the faculty extend the discussion to encompass the rights and responsibilities in protecting some tenants from other tenants, and protections for victims of domestic violence.
