Prepare a tenant–landlord dispute discussion

If available, keep the agreement, rent or deposit records, notices, property location and relevant messages.

Describe the specific issue—payment, repair, notice, possession or another concern—and record the key dates.

Ask which agreement and law govern, what the notice requires, how payments should be documented and which response route is appropriate.

Discuss these notes with an advocate of your choice, or open NALSA’s legal-aid information to ask about professional assistance. The service determines eligibility and representation.

You have a concise record of the disagreement for a professional consultation.

If the arrangement was oral or records are incomplete, state that clearly. Do not assume rights or eviction steps from this guide.
