Though treated as distinct areas, there is substantial
overlap between consumer law and landlord/ tenant law. Ryan Peterson, a consumer
law litigator, and Dan Suitor, a housing attorney and tenant’s rights advocate
will discuss from their complimentary perspectives how these constantly and
rapidly developing practice areas can and do interact with one
another.
Landlord-tenant law is an
under-litigated field, with a lack of binding case law and private
representation resulting in a number of legal grey areas. The flurry of activity
in the legislature this past session will only increase this interplay,
providing opportunities for practitioners bringing or defending new claims.
Finally, the presenters hope to spur discussion about applications of the newly
revived Prevention Against Consumer Fraud Act.
This CLE is approved for credit through October 8,
2025.
