Invaluable advice for dealing with landlord

My landlord was threatening to saddle me with cleaning/maintenance bills if I didn't dust the entire house and do the yardwork whenever he asked......Seemed like a normal person when I rented the room and moved in. Anyway, Leigh calmly explained to me what my rights are as a tenant and that I was in ...the right in this dispute. I went back to my landlord with the info I got from Leigh during the consultation I booked with DC Tenant Rights Center and he stopped harassing me. I'm very happy with the $70 I spent on consultation because my landlord backed off when I got a well reasoned legal opinion.

So helpful

Landlord disputes are so stressful. I had no idea where to begin. Leigh knew exactly what was going on and had the exact legal language printed out to show me my rights. I went back to my landlord and got what I was supposed to have. A small investment in a legal fee saved me thousands of dollars. Th...ank you!!

A knowledgable and capable advocate for tenants

Leigh helped us deal with our landlord as he sold the condo we'd been renting from him. It was a stressful and contentious situation, but Leigh helped us understand our rights and how best to act. She answered our questions, helped us review our options, and even knew how new legislation affected our... situation. Having her in our corner didn't make our problems go away, of course, but it did give us confidence and comfort during a difficult time.
