Goleta’s Affordable Housing staff is hosting a free virtual Lunch & Learn, noon-1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5 to answer residents’ questions about tenant protections in the city.
The Tenant Protections Ordinance, in Chapter 8.19 of the Goleta Municipal Code, outlines requirements for rental units in the city, including mandatory lease offers; possible reasons for eviction; required noticing and relocation payments; and anti-harassment provisions.
The Lunch & Learn will consist of a presentation from staff outlining the ordinance and recent amendments, followed by a Q&A session for attendees.
The program will cover the following:
• Just Cause requirements for termination of tenancy
• Noticing requirements
• Relocation assistance
• Early Tenant Alert Notice (optional)
• Tenant anti-harassment
• One-year leases
• Right of First Refusal to re-rent after a Substantial Remodel
Register here to join the conversation. After registering you will receive an email with the Zoom link.
