Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

You can just show up. You need to sign up first.
What to expect
A webinar lasts about one hour, in person or on Zoom, and covers tenant rights in rental housing. It ends with a question and answer period with an attorney or housing counselor. The sessions give general information, not legal advice.

- Write down your question about your own lease or repair issue for the question period
