Senator Liz Krueger's Virtual Town Hall
Good Cause Eviction: New Protections for Market Rate Renters
Thursday, June 20th, 6:30m - 8pm
On Thursday, June 20th from 6:30pm – 8pm, join Senator Krueger for a virtual town hall on the new Good Cause Eviction law, which was passed in this year's State Budget and signed into law by the Governor.
This provision will finally add some new tenant protections for renters living in market rate units - in other words, those that are not rent regulated.
Hear from a leading Housing Attorney on what is in the law and what it means for you.
Opening remarks by Senator Krueger, followed by Senator Brian Kavanagh, Chair, Committee on Housing, Construction and Community Development, and Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal, Chair, Standing Committee on Housing.
Speaker:
Ellen Davidson
Staff Attorney
Legal Aid Society
