Eviction defense lawyers represent tenants threatened or who are actively being evicted from their premises by the landlord
There are very few landlord-tenant lawyers who practice eviction defense without there being a significant upside to the tenant’s case; alternatively, the client can afford to pay the lawyer fees on an hourly basis.
A Significant Upside To Tenant’s Case
A case that has a significant upside must have sufficient evidence to file a counter-claim against the property owner for violating the tenant’s legal rights such as:
- Locking Out the Tenant
- Retaliatory Eviction
- Privacy Violations
- Building Code Violations
- Unlawful Discrimination
- Depriving Tenant of Quiet Enjoyment
- Landlord Engages in Self-Help
