The notice
A letter that says pay, fix or leave. It is not a court order, and it does not make you move.
Case No. 00 / Tenant defense, housing court
We defend tenants in housing court: a flat fee you see before we start, a callback the same day, and your answer filed before the clock runs out.

Evenings and Saturdays
01 / The clock
Most tenants who lose, lose on Day 8: the written answer was never filed. Drag the line to see what each day asks of you.
02 / Counsel
Housing court moves fast, and the landlord's lawyer has done this a thousand times. Here is what changes when you walk in with one too.

Intake · read by a lawyer, answered the same day
This form is currently unavailable.
05 / Before you call
No. A notice is a letter, not an order. Only a judge can order you out, and only after a hearing you have the right to attend.
Often five court days to file a written answer, sometimes fewer. Call us the day you get them: the clock does not wait for a callback.
Often, yes. Repairs the landlord ignored, fees the lease never allowed and a pending rental-assistance application can each change the outcome, or buy you time.
A flat fee, written down before we start: $750 for an eviction defense from the answer through the hearing. No hourly billing, no surprise invoice.
Sí. Two of our lawyers and the intake line work in Spanish every day, evenings and Saturdays included.
