CLIENT SUCCESS: Meet Alex, a public housing resident who received notice from his landlord that he owed late rent fees and unexpected maintenance fees. Alex did not agree that he was liable for the maintenance fees, so he reached out to PSLS for legal help.

PSLS advocated for Alex, getting the eviction dismissed because the landlord did not provide the required length of notice, and helped him obtain a transfer voucher.

Thanks to PSLS’ high-quality legal services, Alex was able to avoid eviction, allowing him to keep his housing voucher and continue to have a place to call home. #PSLS #PursuingJustice #RestoringHope
