Eviction Representation for All would give tenants in Multnomah County a fighting chance in eviction court because, if passed, it will:
- Provide free legal representation for ALL tenants facing an eviction.
- Create a Tenant Resource Office at the county level to administer the Right to Counsel Program.
- Reduce the financial burden of eviction proceedings for tenants.
- Reduce the number of evictions that take place in Multnomah County. (It’s true! According to The Appeal: “When tenants are represented by legal counsel during eviction proceedings, the outcomes change significantly. After New York City established a right to counsel at eviction proceedings, 86 percent of tenants with representation were able to remain in their home.”)
- Reduce the number of eviction cases landlords win against tenants who don’t understand how to navigate the legal system alone.
