The City’s Affordable Housing staff is hosting a free virtual Lunch & Learn to answer your questions about tenant protections in Goleta. 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 where attendees can have their questions answered. If you have questions or want to learn more about the Tenant Protections Ordinance, now is your chance! The presentation 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 today to join the conversation! After registering you will receive an email with the Zoom link.
