Question: How can I handle a wrongful eviction case where I was not late on rent but the property management still locked my units and eventually auctioned off my belongings without proper notice or a hearing?
Answer: In a case of wrongful eviction where the tenant was not late on rent but the units were red-locked and auctioned without proper notice, you should prepare for any impending eviction proceedings or hearings by gathering all evidence of attempted payments and correspondence with the property management. If the eviction proceedings do not end in the tenant's favor, the process and avaliability of an appeal is dependant on specific jurisdictional rules. If you'd like to book a call with an attorney to discuss your situation, contact Cape Law to see if services are offered in your jurisdiction.
