We know that nearly 70% of the residents of Somerville live in rental housing situations. But how many would know what to do if they run into issues with disaster relocation, property sales, eviction notices, or other scenarios that might arise?

The Winter Hill Neighborhood Association and the Mystic Tenant Association invite you to come ask some experts about the rules and the resources that exist for renters. We’ll be joined by Ellen Shachter from the City of Somerville’s Office of Housing Stability and Susan Hegel from Cambridge And Somerville Legal Services.

All are welcome, whether you rent or not! And there will be food!
