Talk focuses on tenant-landlord rights

A New York State assistant attorney general will give a public talk on tenant and landlord rights and responsibilities and then answer individual consumer questions on Sept. 10 at Cornell Cooperative Extension at 615 Willow Ave. in Ithaca.

At 11 a.m. Mike Danaher, New York State assistant attorney general, will discuss issues surrounding leases, security deposits, what to do about needed repairs, when and how evictions occur, and how to avoid or resolve tenant-landlord disputes.
