Retaliatory evictions occur when a landlord attempts to
evict a tenant in response to some action taken by the tenant.
Retaliatory evictions can be the landlord's response to
complaints by the tenant to the landlord or a housing authority or
official, the tenant's call for a city inspector, or tenant organizing.
If you are being evicted from your
apartment in retaliation for making a complaint, you have rights and
your landlord must follow proper legal procedures for evicting you from
your apartment.
