A Conversation With Student Legal Services Part One

A few weeks ago, one of our community members reached out to us about recurring problems and issues he was having with his roommate that were making his living situation unbearable. We advised him to reach out to student legal services at his campus, but we decided to have a question and answer session with Student Legal Services of Edmonton just in case there are any other students who could use their services but aren't aware of it.

Note: Due to Covid-19 Student Legal Services is no longer taking walk-ins until future notice; however, we still wanted to share the details of the QnA session in case it could help a student or tenant immediately. A special thanks to Student Legal Services for taking the time to do this interview.
