Illegal Eviction Lawsuit Grounds
Summary
If a landlord receives rental assistance and still evicts a tenant, it may be grounds for a wrongful eviction lawsuit. Tenants should gather evidence, such as proof of payments and correspondence, to support their case. Consulting a local attorney can provide guidance on potential damages, including loss of property and emotional distress. Additionally, any changes to lease terms, such as unit number changes, should be documented and agreed upon by both parties. Tenants should ensure they are charged the correct rent amount as per their lease agreement.Full Conversation

See I went to court, but the landlords attorney asked to talk with me before we went in to see the judge. We made a deal and I never saw the judge. I didn't even know they were getting era for me until they gave me an itemized statement. That's how I found out they were receiving era. They lied on the form ud120
