Question

Which advice should the counselor provide to the client, who faces potential eviction from

unpaid rent?

A- Prepare for eviction by packing her things and provide a list of emergency shelters
B- Seek legal aid services so her rental payments can be held in escrow until the repairs are made
C- Seek legal aid services to counter sue the landlord for not making repairs to the dishwasher
D- Pay the back-owed rent and provide a list of emergency rental assistance programs

Answer 1

The counselor should advise the client to seek legal aid services to counter sue the landlord for not making repairs to the dishwasher (option C) and also pay the back-owed rent (option D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The counselor should advise the client to seek legal aid services to counter sue the landlord for not making repairs to the dishwasher (option C) and also pay the back-owed rent (option D).

By suing the landlord for not making repairs, the client may be able to negotiate a resolution that allows her to stay in the rental property without facing eviction.

At the same time, it is important for the client to pay the back-owed rent to address the immediate issue of unpaid rent and demonstrate good faith to the landlord. This can also help avoid further legal complications and improve the client's chances of reaching a favorable resolution.
