Eviction Prevention
The Western New York Law Center helps low-income tenants facing eviction for not paying rent or other issues. We make sure tenants get the proper notices before legal action begins and protect their rights during court cases. Our goal is to help tenants stay in their homes by finding valid reasons to delay or stop evictions or working out a deal with the landlord. If an agreement can't be reached, we advocate for tenants to have enough time to move out without having an eviction on their record.
