Legal Aid hosting tenant rights webinar

Southwest Virginia Legal Aid Society is hosting a free webinar on Virginia tenant rights and responsibilities.

The session will address Virginia and federal laws that assist landlords, tenants and homeowners with issues surrounding housing access in Virginia.  

The webinar is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Feb. 9. Registration is required at  www.svlas.org/virginiatenants.com.
Presenters include Southwest Virginia Legal Aid Society attorneys Daniel Rezai and Kristi Murray.  
Daniel Rezai works on both housing and family law cases. As a former policy analyst, Rezai uses his knowledge of the Virginia Code to research every aspect of a housing law to ensure landlords are following the laws of Virginia when seeking to evict a client from their housing.   
Murray has brought over a decade of experience to the SVLAS Christiansburg office and uses that knowledge to extensively vet the claims of landlords when seeking to evict clients from their housing. She has used her experience to help negotiate with landlords on behalf of her clients to help stop eviction proceedings from being heard by the court. She has also served many clients through negotiating settlements with landlords to preserve housing and HUD vouchers.
