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.
