It’s Not Just a Good Idea … It’s the Law!

K. Orlando Simón, Staff Attorney, Student Legal Services
Livestream Available (Visible After Registration)

Every country has norms for what is acceptable and unacceptable, and similarly for what is legal and illegal in that particular country. This session will offer important information on what is and is not permitted in the United States. Learn this information now; don’t risk being embarrassed, or even fined or arrested! 


The session will also include a brief overview of landlord-tenant law, including information about what your landlord is and is not permitted to do, and your rights and obligations as a tenant. Avoid possible problems and prepare for a good relationship with your landlord by learning this important information now.


This workshop is presented by Student Legal Services (SLS).
