North Country Tenants Clinic
North Country Tenants: Get Free Legal Help!
Questions about leases? Problems with a landlord? Concerns about maintenance?
Are you a tenant facing eviction or serious problems with your home? Our FREE legal helpline can help you with:
- Filling out court documents, such as answers and emergency motions to reopen cases
- Answering your legal questions about tenants’ rights
Tenants dealing with serious habitability issues (like lack of heat, water, or unsafe conditions) can also call to get help completing a petition to force repairs.
