Housing Rights for Tenants
April 7, 2022 @ 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET
Presented by: Aruna Boodram, Paralegal - Community Legal Worker
Low-income, racialized tenants are facing multiple barriers and ongoing issues when it comes to trying to find and maintain safe, adequate, and affordable housing in the province of Ontario. While housing is a right, tenants are often made to put up with horrendous conditions, harassment, and exorbitant costs to find housing for themselves and their families. In this webinar, we will be learning about the international and local legislation and regulations that govern Housing and Tenancies in Ontario, and some of the realities of tenants on the ground. The webinar will also highlight what happens at the intersection of oppressions such as poverty and racism and the housing crisis impact on our clients.
This Webinar is FREE for Ontario Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Social Service Workers (RSSW) and Students of Social Work and Social Service Work Programs. Please note: If you are not an RSW, RSSW or student of these programs in Ontario, you may still attend but will be charged a fee of $20.
