Experts from Legal Aid, Volunteer Lawyer Program, Planned Parenthood advise women of all ages on their legal rights when it comes to evictions, rent increases, and health care during half-day seminar.
Whether it's a sudden notice from your landlord that you're about to be evicted or you need quick and affordable access to a physician, women aren't always armed with the legal background to defend their rights. San Diego County's Commission on the Status of Women and Girls sought to change that Saturday with a series of panels presented by experts in the fields of housing, health care, employment and immigration.
The legislation also has very clear regulations on what a landlord must do — and also what one cannot do — before trying to end a renter's tenancy. 'Landlords can't just call up and say, 'I want to end your tenancy, you need to move out, get out,'' said Heather Carmody with the San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program.
