FINDING A HOME It can be challenging. We can help with legal problems related to finding a home or getting evicted from your home.

Fair Housing The Fair Housing Act ensures equal access to rental housing and homeownership opportunities by prohibiting the denial of housing because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability.

Lease Agreement When renting a property, you will enter into a lease agreement. A lease agreement is a contract between you and the property owner or manager (landlord). A lease agreement states that you have the right to live in a home for a specific period and explains your responsibilities and your landlord’s responsibilities. You should never rent a home or apartment without a written lease agreement.

Bankruptcy If you have been unable to find a home because of your debt, bankruptcy may offer you a fresh start. Bankruptcy is a legal tool that can help you get rid of certain debts in order to protect consumers from creditors.
