Virtual 

Too often we hear how tenants in Indiana have no rights. The reality is there are protections available in state and federal law, but they are under-enforced.

This virtual training is geared towards Indiana attorneys interested in learning how to file affirmative habitability and consumer protection claims on behalf of tenants, including those with fee-shifting provisions. Learn about the various claims available and hear from national experts who have built their practices around litigating them.
