Disputes between renters and landlords can affect your home, your money and your peace of mind. Whether you rent a place or own one that you rent out, the details of the notice, the lease and the dates matter. An independent attorney can explain your options. Client to Law only gathers facts and never rules on who is right.
What this covers
- Eviction notices and court papers
- Security deposits
- Repairs and unsafe or unlivable conditions

- Lockouts and shut-off utilities

What to have ready

Common questions
I received an eviction notice. What should I do? Notices and court papers often have short deadlines that depend on the type of notice. Keep everything, write down the dates, and speak with an attorney quickly. Client to Law cannot tell you which deadline applies to you.
Do you work with both tenants and landlords? Yes. The intake asks which one you are so the attorney understands your side of the dispute.
