Organize the facts before you talk to the court, legal aid, or an attorney

This guided intake helps sort the notice, court status, rent issues, housing conditions, and questions worth confirming. It does not decide your rights, defenses, or case outcome.

I understand this is a preparation tool, not legal advice or legal representation. I will confirm important rights, deadlines, court requirements, and case-specific decisions with an authoritative source or qualified professional.
