SNIWWOC + TAPS: RENTAL JUSTICE WORKSHOP

In an attempt to tackle the important issue of rental justice for women; especially radicalized women SNIWWOC is partnering with TAPS (Together Against Poverty Society) to highlight some of the main concerns and misconceptions surrounding renters rights in British Columbia and in Canada.

TAPS is one of the largest providers of free, face-to-face legal advocacy for people with income assistance, disability benefits, employment standards, and tenancy issues.They help over 7,000 people in Victoria each year!

TAPS also provides legal education and training through seminars, and produces a newsletter: TAPROOT, with updated legal information that is widely distributed throughout Greater Victoria.

Our talk will be lead by Antonia Mah and Thaer Harba who are both Tennant legal advocates for TAPS.

TAPS advocates help people in the Victoria area with matters that involve any of the following:

• Provincial disability (PWD) applications & appeals

• Income assistance (welfare)

• Employment standards disputes

• Residential tenancy disputes

• Income tax for low-income earners

Some questions you can have answered during this talk are:

"How soon after I don't pay my rent can my landlord evict me?"

"Can my landlord enter my apartment without notice?"

"What sort of assistance is available if I fall behind on my rent?"

Tune in on July 22nd from 3:30-5:00pm for this very important info session!!!
