A state House panel held its first hearing Thursday on legislation to create a right to legal representation for people facing eviction from their rental homes.

A New York hedge fund bought at least 17 Michigan mobile home parks. Residents say the results have been rent spikes, deferred maintenance, and surprise eviction notices.

Residents can connect with an attorney at their first hearing in court.

Detroit’s Right to Counsel ordinance was supposed to take effect last October, ensuring that low-income residents have a lawyer when they’re facing eviction.

With pandemic-era benefits winding down and the eviction moratorium ended, Detroit tenants are seeing more evictions — and housing activists and residents are demanding a series of policy efforts to better protect tenants.

The Executive Editor and Program Manager will start their new jobs in January.

The report found that at the city’s current filing rate, more than 20% of tenants — 61,000 people — would face eviction this year.

As part of Detroit's recent Right to Counsel ordinance, an Office of Eviction Defense was supposed to be created by October 1. But no one's been hired to work in it.

Detroit's new Right to Counsel Ordinance will get free lawyers for residents who make less than $27,000 dollars a year. The office is supposed to help coordinate those lawyers and residents.
