The Cleveland Municipal Housing Court will hold a virtual tenant information clinic on Saturday where residents can watch online to learn more about tenant rights, rental assistance and other programs.
The event will cover the following topics:
- Tenant rights
- CDC moratorium on evictions
- COVID-19 rental assistance
- Rent deposit
- Cleveland's right to counsel law
- Navigating virtual housing court
- State/local tenant laws
According to the court, "attendees can anticipate hearing directly from Judge Scott, The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland and CHN Housing Partners regarding their rights as tenants."
“There are ways to prevent evictions during COVID-19” said Scott. “Housing Court remains a transparent community based court and we’re hoping to continue educating residents during this informative event.”
