Maggie recently came to us after she had landed a new apartment and paid security deposit. Only after she’d paid the deposit did she learn that the landlord was a convicted felon. Feeling unsafe, Maggie sought our services to help get her out of the lease so she could seek an apartment elsewhere. The landlord first refused even though Marie had yet to move in. Center volunteers were able to help Marie out of the lease and get some of the money she had spent refunded.
