Workshop Description:
When it comes to rights and protections, commercial tenants have few resources available outside of their lease. As part of a broader effort to support and protect small businesses, United for Small Business NYC successfully pushed for the passage of legislation that allows commercial tenants who have been harassed by their landlords to take them to court. It’s a step in the right direction, and more needs to happen. Come learn about how businesses can protect themselves and what other steps can be taken to empower neighborhood commercial tenants.
