Free legal help to stop an eviction from public housing
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2022 5:55 am
Hi,
I am in need of assistance with my rent, and possibly legal help with an eviction. I live in public housing and feel as they have miss led me into believing if I completed the required paperwork they would adjust my rent to where it should of been months ago. However, when speaking with them at my eviction court hearing.. they made it clear they never were going to adjust the rent and even though I live in public housing. So I need the lawyer, for free, to advise me.
AND MY RENTAL MANAGER has been telling me it would be adjusted... rent is suppose to be based off of my income . For the last year since I reported to them that I lost my job and have no income they raised my rent from 100.00 to 781.00. They led me to believe my rent would be adjusted and the rent would be pro rated to the amount it should be at. And I have emails proving I did everything that was asked of me, and completed the paperwork as requested.
Because of this my rent that I owe is at 10,000.00 to the public housing and I need legal aid with. They wanted to only give me 7 days to pay 10,000 and I currently have no income coming in. Thankfully because I requested an attorney the courts rescheduled my hearing to Jan 12th, 2023. So by Jan I have to figure out how to pay 10,000 in rent otherwise me and my daughter will be out on the street cause I have no where to turn, or no one I can move in with. Or if an attorney can present my case to the judge and get the amount lowered or brought to 0 since I am being treated unjustly by public housing. I have most of our correspondence documented where it shows I was doing everything they asked...
I'm so stressed, and depressed because of this. I'm a type 1 diabetic, And am struggling with my health which none of this extra stress helps at all. I live in MN. I have been requesting financial help through the county but they denied me because of how much rent I owe now. And other places I have contacted are telling me they do not have the funding available. I really need help. I have never been this low in my life and it's hard to ask for help especially when your turned down. I'm a good person just trying to keep me and my autistic 16yr old daughter afloat. I wouldn't ask for help if it wasn't my last option. But it is, and I truly need help from a free lawyer so bad.
And of course it at the perfect timing when it's Xmas. I will not brake to give my daughter a good Christmas this year. It breaks my heart. .
Any resources will be greatly appreciated at this time
