Got an Eviction Notice? 5 Things Tenants Should Do This Week

This episode is for tenants. If you just got an eviction notice, or think one is coming, EvictIQ founder Will Addo explains what to do this week. His company works for property owners, and he says so up front, because in most cases the best outcome for the owner is the same as the best outcome for the tenant: you stay and the rent gets paid.
Five steps:
1. Read the paper today: a landlord's notice is not a court order, and court papers have a short deadline
2. Respond and show up: about one in four metro Atlanta eviction cases ended in default judgment
3. Talk to your landlord early, in writing, with real numbers and dates
4. Gather your proof: lease, rent receipts, bank statements and payment app screenshots
5. Get help this week: legal aid, 211, and court mediation or eviction diversion programs
Also covered: your landlord generally cannot lock you out or shut off utilities without a court order, and how an eviction record can affect your next rental application.
General information, not legal advice. Eviction rules are different in every state. Talk to legal aid or an attorney about your situation.
