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. At this time mediations are limited to those with incomes below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level and have faced economic hardship due to the Covid-19 crisis.
To schedule a mediation call or email Linda Paugh at 570-261-8023, mediation@poconounitedway.org
