Tenants and landlords have rights and responsibilities in the State of Michigan. Learn and discuss these with an experienced Michigan attorney.

Registration Required

As a tenant or landlord in the state of Michigan, you have rights! In this workshop, Don Roberts, the managing attorney at Legal Aid of West Michigan-Kalamazoo County will offer an overview of tenant-landlord law in the state and educate patrons on exercising your tenant rights as well as maintaining compliance as a landlord. The workshop will be followed by a brief Q&A.

This workshop is intended for general education purposes and not the provision of personal, tailored legal advice.
