Apartment Saved
Two families were living in apartments located in a building that was previously a single family
home. The building was included in a land contract being purchased by the landlord. When the
landlord failed to make payments, the original owner started foreclosure proceedings. The
owner did not provide the tenants any notice of the proceedings and locked both families out of
their apartments.
AppalReD
was successful in getting the families back into their homes. Both tenants wanted to move, but
had difficulty finding other housing. AppalReD negotiated with the owner to allow them to
stay in the apartments until they found alternate housing.
Tenant-Landlord Disputes
Tenant-Landlord disputes can be confusing for a person that is not familiar with the law. In certain tenant-landlord disputes,
AppalRed can provide legal services to tenants whose landlords are not providing them with an adequate living space, charging
unreasonable rent, or evicting tenants unlawfully.
