Whether expected or not, getting an eviction notice can be a scary and stressful experience. Know that renters have rights, and you can’t be kicked out overnight. LegalShield is here to help.
While laws vary from state to state, every state has laws which protect renters from unlawful eviction. For example, if the eviction notice you received does not give you the legally required amount of time to respond, your landlord can’t evict you. A lawyer can help you understand and exercise all of your renter rights.
A legal plan from LegalShield lets you pick up the phone and speak to a lawyer familiar with laws in your state. In addition, have a lawyer write a letter or make a call on your behalf for no additional charge.
A Legal Plan is just $26.95/month. Once your membership is processed, connect with a provider lawyer.
No matter what the specific circumstances are that caused you to receive an eviction notice, it’s imperative that you take the right action, right away. Failure to respond to an eviction notice correctly and in a timely fashion can create additional problems you don’t need.
Attorneys know how to minimize financial damage by responding according to the laws in your state. You can get the legal help you need by purchasing a personal legal plan from LegalShield for only $26.95/month.
Eviction notices can be with or without cause. Failure to pay rent is an example of an eviction for cause. In either case, the landlord must follow state law and the lease agreement or the eviction may be deemed improper and thrown out by a judge.
If you believe that the eviction notice is unlawful or you have a strong defense (such as the landlord failing to provide a safe living environment), you should contact a lawyer immediately.
Here are some examples of how to negotiate a resolution with your landlord to avoid going to court.
If you’re unable to resolve the situation on your own, having a lawyer write a letter or make a call on your behalf can save both parties the extra time, stress and expense associated with going to court.
When you have a personal plan from LegalShield, your lawyer can provide unlimited consultation and advice, review your lease agreement and even contact your landlord to negotiate a settlement, all for only $26.95/month.
While everyone wants to avoid a long, drawn out eviction process, it’s important that you keep record, should you end up in front of a judge.
If you’re overwhelmed by the eviction process in general, become a LegalShield member. A provider lawyer can handle much of the situation for you, including reviewing documents and providing legal advice.
