A bi-monthly renters’ rights series where the Tenant Protection Team discusses issues to keep you in-the-know with landlord-tenant law.

This month we’re going without a topic, instead it will be an open floor Question & Answer session with Community Alliance of Tenants’ Tenant Education Specialists and Portland Defender attorney Troy Pickard.

Join Community Alliance of Tenants with our partners at Legal Aid Services of Oregon & Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) for a free workshop in person to learn the latest in landlord-tenant law and how to protect yourself as a renter.

And this year, we are FINALLY back in person for our Annual Member Meeting after 4 years of virtual Member Meetings due to the pandemic. Our annual Member Meetings are a chance to vote new CAT Board Members, set the policy agenda for CAT, and gather with tenants across Oregon.
