Know Your Rights

Understanding your legal situation is the first step to protecting your rights and getting fair compensation.

1

The Eviction Process — Step by Step

Eviction requires a written notice, a waiting period, a court hearing, and a judge's order. A landlord cannot lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off utilities without going through this process.

2

Common Defenses Against Eviction

Procedural errors, retaliation, discrimination, improper notice, and housing code violations are all valid defenses. Even if you owe rent, defenses may stop or delay the eviction and buy time to resolve the situation.

3

What Happens at the Eviction Hearing

Both parties present their case to a judge. With an attorney, you can raise defenses, negotiate a payment agreement, and potentially avoid having an eviction on your record.
