Illegal Eviction / Unresolved Repairs Kit

Seven tools across two paths, in the order you'd actually need them — every one of them completely free to use.

This kit covers two related but distinct tenant situations: a landlord trying to force you out illegally — changing the locks, removing your belongings, cutting off utilities, or pressuring you to leave without a court order — and a landlord who won't make the repairs the property needs. They aren't steps in one sequence: follow whichever path matches what's actually happening to you. Every tool in this kit is completely free to use — no account, no payment, no catch.

Pick your path

Two separate situations, two separate paths. Within each path, the tools are listed in the order you'd use them.

Path A · Illegal eviction

Your landlord is forcing you out

Put the landlord on formal notice that the eviction is unlawful, know exactly what to do if you are locked out right now, and organize your response and documents.

Path B · Repairs not being made

Your landlord won't fix the problem

Send a formal repair request, keep a dated log of every issue and response, check whether the problem is a habitability issue, and see if repair-and-deduct is open to you.
