Equitable Evictions.

The eviction process is often a last resort for landlords and a devastating event for tenants. It represents the culmination of financial struggles, miscommunications, or unfortunate circumstances that push both parties into a difficult situation.

For tenants, an eviction can be life-altering. An eviction record can follow them for years, making it harder to find future housing, secure loans, or even obtain employment. The stress and uncertainty of losing a home can disrupt every aspect of their lives, from their mental and physical health to their children’s education and stability. Fortunately, many municipalities and courts recognize these challenges and have implemented measures to ease the burdens on tenants. Municipal courts are often tenant-friendly, and the city of Philadelphia offers programs such as the Eviction Diversion Program, which assists tenants with missed rent and helps prevent the detrimental impacts of eviction filings.

Owning property isn’t cheap, and life as a landlord comes with its own set of challenges. Most landlords are everyday Philadelphians who either inherited or purchased a home that eventually became an investment property. Small-scale landlords rely on rental payments to cover the mortgage, real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Missed rent payments can lead to mortgage foreclosure, tax issues, and significant financial strain on the owner. When mortgage payments are missed, there’s no safety net to catch landlords.

At the intersection of these challenges lies the eviction process—a legal mechanism that too often deepens the divide between landlords and tenants. But what if there was a better way? What if we could approach evictions with compassion and fairness, ensuring that both parties’ needs are addressed before resorting to court?

Traditional law firms typically charge a set fee to handle the entire eviction process, from notice filing to courtroom proceedings. This model can unintentionally incentivize lawyers to be lawyers and meet their opponents in court; we believe in a different approach—one that prioritizes diversion, fairness, and mutual agreement over drawn-out legal conflict.

At evictphilly, we charge on a per-step basis, ensuring that each phase of the eviction process is handled with care and precision. Our pricing model not only saves you money but also encourages early resolution during the eviction diversion phase preventing a court filing. By focusing on reaching agreements outside of court, we help landlords avoid unnecessary legal fees and tenants avoid detrimental stains on thier record.

Our goal is to resolve disputes as early as possible, providing a fair outcome for both landlords and tenants. We believe that a swift, equitable solution is always preferable to a prolonged legal battle, and our approach reflects that belief. We offer a fair and flexible approach that puts resolution first.

Together, we can navigate the complexities of the eviction process in a way that is fair, compassionate, and effective. Let’s work toward resolutions that protect your investment as a landlord while giving tenants a fighting chance to get back on their feet.
