A 65-year-old Veteran endured severe stress and health issues from an infestation in her rental unit, which made it impossible for her to cook or live comfortably. After withholding rent to force the landlord to act, she faced an eviction case. Her concerns were compounded by ongoing disputes with a neighbor and minimal responsiveness from the property management.
LADA represented the Veteran in court, negotiating an agreement to dismiss the case with conditions. Under the agreement, the case was dismissed with no judgment entered, provided she moved out by an agreed-upon date. LADA also ensured the lease termination was classified as mutual and voluntary, protecting her from future rent claims or credit impacts.
This agreement gave the Veteran the time she needed to secure better housing. She was deeply relieved to leave the infested unit without an eviction judgment and grateful for LADA’s assistance in achieving a clean break and a brighter future.
