When Stephanie found herself living in unsafe conditions, unsure of how to protect her rights, she turned to Open Hands for help. On top of these challenges, Stephanie fell on hard times and struggled to pay her rent.
Open Hands reviewed her landlord’s agreement and realized it was not fair. It was rewritten to ensure Stephanie’s rights were protected. With the guidance from Open Hand’s attorneys, Stephanie negotiated better terms and had her landlord agree to additional protections, including reimbursement for a new lock.
After prayer for God’s guidance, Stepheanie met her landlord and signed the agreement, and was able to move forward with peace of mind.
