If your landlord is trying to evict you, you have some options to protect yourself. You should find which option best fits your situation, and then act quickly. This will help you use your time and money in the best way for you.
You have 3 main options to choose from when you are facing an eviction. Which one best fits you?
If you think you can come to an agreement with your landlord, you can make a settlement with them.
If you think you may have a defense against the landlord’s claims, you can learn how to represent yourself.
If you want to leave the home, or don’t think you have a defense, then you can make plans to move to another home.
If you live in government-assisted housing, or if you live in a mobile home — you have different options to respond to an eviction.
