Rental Troubles? Be proactive! The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all. Tenants, are you worried about paying your rent? Landlords, are you concerned about covering your costs? Need help to communicate your needs? We can help you talk it out.

Conversations about money are difficult to have. You don't need to figure this out alone. Our neutral third party mediators are ready to assist both landlords and tenants--to talk and listen, explore options, and find your own best solutions.

There are federal and state eviction moratoriums in place, at least for now. A moratorium on evictions does NOT stop rent or other bills, like utilities, from being owed.

Take action now to avoid problems later. Let our mediators help you have productive conversations to prevent misunderstandings, explore available options, and avert legal action.

Ready to get started? Call our Case Manager Charity Norem at (808) 935-7844 ext. 2 or email [email protected]
