The Beverly Hills Rent Stabilization Division held a Rent Stabilization Tenant Legal Training on Feb. 24. Presented by nonprofit legal aid law firm Bet Tzedek, the forum provided Beverly Hills residents with a crash course on the protections for tenants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the pandemic shut down large sectors of the economy, local, state and national lawmakers have worked to stave off a potential eviction crisis. But nearly a year into the economic lockdown and the bramble of services and protections can prove confusing to tenants. And, as it turns out, even to public servants.
“I do want to emphasize that it is confusing. This is a very confusing time. And none of us have been through a time where we’ve seen legislation rolled out so quickly,” said Deputy Director of Rent Stabilization Helen Morales. “That’s why it’s important that you get legal advice.”
