Know the Harm — and How to Fight It
Start with what happened to you. Each guide explains what the practice is, what the law says, the red flags, and concrete steps to push back — in plain language, not legalese.
Defective or Missing Eviction Notice
The notice that starts an eviction has strict legal requirements. A missing or defective notice — including a missing VAWA notice — can defeat the case.
See your rights →Filed by an Entity Without Standing or Authority
Sometimes the entity filing the eviction can't actually prove it owns the property or has authority to file. That's a standing defect.
See your rights →Charges and Collections After You Move Out
Being billed for rent or fees after you've vacated, or having a disputed balance sent to collections.
See your rights →Section 8 / Housing Voucher Mistreatment
Voucher holders have extra federal protections — including good-cause termination rules and protection of the voucher itself.
See your rights →Uninhabitable Conditions
No heat, mold, no AC, unaddressed repairs — landlords owe a habitable home, and "rent" for an uninhabitable unit can be contested.
