Helpful tips

  • If you need translations, these meetings are available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole.
  • Act fast. You have five days to respond to an eviction notice before you lose automatically.‍
  • Get in touch even if you’re not sure you need a lawyer. A lawyer can give you ways to protect yourself and protect against an eviction -- even if it seems like it’s too late. ‍
  • Continue to pay your rent if you can do so without forgoing basic necessities. If your landlord isn’t accepting rent payments, try to set that money aside because the court may ask you for it.
