If you're dealing with any of the situations below, you're in the right place. We help self-represented tenants prepare the paperwork they need — no matter how complicated it feels right now.
Landlord says you owe rent — but you paid, the amount is wrong, or rent was never properly accepted.
Disagreements about how much is owed, what was applied, or how payments were handled.
You've reported repairs that were ignored. Poor conditions at the unit may be relevant to your case.
You have a disability-related housing need that the landlord has denied, ignored, or delayed.
The eviction papers weren't delivered correctly — wrong person, wrong address, or wrong method.
The eviction followed a complaint you made about conditions, or a request you submitted to the landlord.
Your landlord stopped responding, changed their story, or refused to put things in writing.
You received something in the mail and you're not sure what it means or what you're supposed to do next.
