Workshops
Register for a workshop to learn more about your rights as a tenant and connect with a tenant advocate or, in some cases, an attorney. There are workshops on different topics and some are based specifically on where you live. Some topics include:
- General tenants rights in the City or County of LA
- Eviction trial preparation for tenants representing themselves in eviction cases
- Tenant harassment
- Small claims court cases
If you need assistance signing up for a workshop, please call 1-888-694-0040. Some of our workshops are in-person, but most are virtual and conducted over Zoom to make sure as many tenants as possible can access this service.
If you require interpretation for a language other than Spanish, please sign up for a workshop that takes place more than a week from now. If you register less than a week before a workshop, we can’t guarantee interpretation.
