Wilma loved her rental home’s location, but the condition of the property was causing major headaches—literally. Her basement flooded, her bedroom ceiling was collapsing from roof leaks, kitchen cabinets were falling off and hitting her on the head, and the windows didn’t seal properly. Concerned about her living conditions, Wilma reached out to Legal Aid for help. Her Legal Aid attorney quickly stepped in, contacting the landlord and outlining the necessary repairs. The attorney made it clear that if the repairs weren't made, it would be a breach of the lease, and Wilma would have to find a safer place to live. The good news? Wilma's landlord promptly addressed all the issues. Thanks to Legal Aid’s support, Wilma was able to stay in her home, now safe, sound, and fully repaired. #JusticeForAll
