Clallam-Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers will host an online presentation next week aimed at helping people navigate landlord-tenant issues. 

The event is titled “Transitioning from the Eviction Moratorium: A summary of the recent changes in eviction laws and resources in Washington state.”

The presentation is planned for Friday, Sept. 24.

Steve Robins, senior attorney at the Northwest Justice Project’s local field office, will present a summary of the changes in the laws for tenants, the two bills currently in effect, and right to counsel.
