Step 4 of 6 — Your Situation
What Reason Did They Give?
Choose the reason your landlord claims they're evicting you. Don't worry if it feels unfair — that's exactly what we're here for.
I didn't pay rent (or they say I didn't)
3-Day Notice to Pay or Quit — one of the easiest cases for tenants to win
They say I broke a rule in my lease
Breach of lease — strict limits on what landlords can actually enforce
No real reason — 30 or 60 day notice
No-cause termination — many cities now require "just cause" by law
Building was sold or foreclosed on
Foreclosure eviction — you have extra legal protections here
Something else / I'm not sure

Step 5 of 6 — Your Side
Is There More To The Story?
In your own words — anything that complicates this? Repairs ignored, harassment, payment made but not acknowledged, a disability, family circumstances?
Even a small detail could be your strongest defense.

You don't need a perfect story to fight this
Procedural errors by your landlord alone can be enough to win or significantly delay the case
