May 8-9,  Pasadena
November 13-14 San Francisco

So many low income people lack decent, affordable housing that housing issues hover in the background of most client legal problems. And many housing issues present themselves in the context of unlawful detainer actions. Whatever your specialty and however housing problems present themselves to you, high quality service and ethical obligations demand familiarity with the issues covered in this learning program.

Housing Law Overview presents key strategies for producing, preserving and protecting individual rights to housing in public, subsidized, and private housing.

     Preserving housing strategies — prevent subsidized
     housing from converting to market rate, public housing
     from being demolished, mobile home parks from closing
     or becoming condos; enforce housing codes and lead
     abatement laws; and keep affordable housing habitable.

     Producing housing — insure that government meet its
     federal, state and local obligations to build affordable
     housing; challenge illegal denials and restrictions on
     affordable housing; and insure that earmarked funds
     are spent for affordable housing.

     Protecting individual rights to housing — challenge
     discriminatory actions and conditions; secure adequate
     relocation benefits and replacement housing; keep people
     in farm worker housing; and fight foreclosure and unlawful
     detainer actions.

Housing Law Overview also focuses on defending unlawful detainer actions to include these key issues: parties, notice, rent, security deposits, discrimination, habitability, and retaliation.
