You’re good for the rent—you can vouch for it!


Housing continues to be the hot-button issue in Somerville. Join us during Fair Housing Month as the Somerville Public Library hosts a hybrid (virtual + in-person) conversation with the Somerville Fair Housing Commission, in partnership with the Department of Racial and Social Justice, about your rights as tenants and landlords. 


This meeting will focus on how to legally handle Section 8 vouchers. Tenants and landlords can learn from Attorney Todd Kaplan about typical, acceptable questions that arise during the tenant application process. Topics will include the use of credit scores and disclosing sources of income.


Tenants: Learn about your rights regarding Section 8 vouchers and other non-wage income.

Landlords: Learn how to avoid fines for discrimination regarding Section 8 and other non-wage income and incentives are available for landlords of Section 8 tenants.
