Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, changes in law affecting renters have been enacted on the federal, state, and local levels. SMRR hosted a Live Webinar on Friday April 23, 2021 from 10:00-11:30AM to share information with the Santa Monica renter community about these changes, including non-payment protections, California’s rental assistance program, harassment and eviction protections, and fair housing.
- Are you unsure about what steps to take to protect yourself if you are unable to pay your rent due the coronavirus health crisis?
- Do you know where to turn for advice if you receive a notice, a demand, or an eviction lawsuit from your landlord?
- Do you know the difference between the City of Santa Monica emergency orders affecting residential tenants and the state and federal tenant protections?
Our panel of experts from the City Attorney’s Office and from various legal services organizations answered these questions, and more.
