Bay Legal in the News: Q&A for Tenants

The April 14, 2020 edition of the San José Mercury News carries a story by Louis Hansen, providing a useful overview of the rapidly-shifting landscape of tenant protections during the COVID-19 emergency in the form of a Q&A. Bay Area housing law experts, including BayLegal Senior Attorney Hilda Chan, weigh in on first steps and key resources for tenants who may have difficulty paying rent on time during the shelter in place period, and who find it challenging to sort out the array of state, county, and city emergency legislation and policy. We encourage tenants and those who work with tenants to consult the article, and to check our page, “Resources and News for Tenants During the COVID-19 Emergency” for the latest information.
