Landlord-Tenant Eviction Mediation Program

Eviction mediation is a voluntary, confidential, free service. The mediation process benefits both landlord and tenant as the mediator helps them work together to come to an agreement to avoid a costly eviction. Unlike the court system, landlords and tenants participating in mediation have more options to create a mutual agreement that is acceptable to all parties. To schedule a mediation contact Linda Paugh at 570-261-8023 or email mediation@poconounitedway.org
