Eviction Assistance

    I would like to hear from everyone on who they are using to assist with evictions. 

    In the past I have done this on my own but it's rare and it's been awhile since I have needed to go through the eviction process. As well I was recently at the courthouse and saw that there is a group providing free legal assistance to tenants so I was considering getting some legal help as well.

    I do evictions myself, never needed legal counsel.

    I don't see how legal help for tenants will do anything for them. When in court, the judge is only interested in answering if they paid the rent or not. If they have not paid, the judge always rules in favor of the landlord.

    I guess the situation might be different if you are evicting on other grounds.

    Hey Philip,

    We haven't evicted anybody since well before the pandemic.  That's not because we haven't had some VERY difficult tenants who didn't pay, etc.  It's because we've discovered a few creative approaches that have worked well for us every time.  For various reasons, I really don't want to describe those here, but, if you'd like to give me a call at 817-300-1132, I'll be happy to discuss this topic with you.

    Thanks, Robin
