This is not about stacking the deck in favor of a tenant—it’s about ensuring equal justice under the law. Currently, there is a large imbalance in access to counsel between landlords and tenants. — PolitiTweet.org

For the wider population of tenants who face eviction, right-to-counsel legislation would provide much-needed access to justice. It would make legal representation in eviction proceedings a right, just like it is for defendants in criminal cases. — PolitiTweet.org

Evidence from other cities, including New York, shows that right-to-counsel reduces evictions and has a positive impact on court efficiency. Counsel can help negotiate mutually beneficial outcomes, such as a payment agreement or an extension of time to find alternative housing. — PolitiTweet.org
