The National Low Income Housing Coalition’s (NLIHC) State and Local Innovation (SLI) project will soon launch the next component of its State and Local Tenant Protection Series: A Primer on Renters’ Rights with a webinar series focused on state and local tenant protections.

The first webinar, taking place on November 20, will give attendees the opportunity to learn more about efforts undertaken at the federal, state, and local levels to address excessive, hidden, and arbitrary rental fees, known commonly as rental “junk fees.” Registrants will hear from a broad range of speakers, including tenant advocates, members of national housing organizations, and legal service providers, about specific campaigns, resources, and efforts to advocate for laws limiting rental junk fees.

The webinar will take place from 2 to 3:30 PM ET and will be co-hosted with the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC), the Housing Policy Clinic at the University of Texas at Austin’s Law School, and Building and Strengthening Tenant Action (BASTA).

  • Sarah Gallagher and Nada Hussein, National Low Income Housing Coalition
  • Heather K. Way, University of Texas at Austin Law School, Housing Policy Clinic
  • Shoshana Krieger, Building and Strengthening Tenant Action
  • Sarah White, Connecticut Fair Housing Center
