Although this training covers multiple eviction defenses, it will focus on the Survivors’ Eviction Defense.  Expanded in 2023 and codified in Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1161.3 and 1174, the Survivors’ Eviction Defense protects tenants from being evicted because they experienced gender-based violence or another type of violent crime.

Class covers:

• The dynamics of domestic violence
• Eviction defenses
• How the dynamics of domestic violence can impact representation.
• Defenses for people getting evicted because they experienced abuse or violence
• The expanded Survivors’ Eviction Defense (CA Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1161.3 and 1174)
