The HAKC seeks to obtain legal representation relating to its efforts to obtain possession of residential units when a resident either fails or refuses to vacate a unit or for emergency evictions when there is a threat to health and/or safety. HAKC will provide outside legal counsel with all necessary information to: 1) prepare and file the petition, 2) serve the petition upon the defendant, 3) appear at court, 4) present the case to the court, 5) prepare the case for trial, if necessary, 6) obtain the judgment, and 7) file the writ for eviction, if necessary. This service may involve pursuing money judgments against the tenant when there has been a failure to pay rent and when the residential unit has been damaged by the tenant and/or the tenant’s family. These matters are typically not complex in nature and move quickly. HAKC estimates that there could be approximately 100 cases per year.
