Jennifer Felton, a Ventura County real estate attorney and member of the Ventura County Coastal Association of Realtors, gave a public presentation at City Hall in San Buenaventura on local and state fair-housing law and practical compliance for landlords and tenants. She opened by explaining the session goals and asking attendees to reserve questions until the end.
