The City Attorney’s office, along with the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles, is offering the second workshop in a series about fair housing for people with disabilities. The workshop will be held on Thursday, Dec. 6 at the Santa Monica Main Library.

The workshop’s presenters will explain federal and state fair housing laws, in particular those laws regarding tenants and applicants with disabilities. Topics will include accessibility, reasonable accommodations, reasonable modifications, community resources for landlords and tenants who are dealing with accommodation needs, and alternatives to litigation such as mediation and the administrative complaint process.

“The goal of the Disability Issues in Rental Housing workshop will be to provide Santa Monicans with more information on these disability topics so that even more disputes can be resolved before resorting to the courts,” said Gary Rhoades, a Deputy City Attorney.
