Landlord-Tenant Mediation

10/2/2018

 
Community Mediation Concepts is working with the Mayor’s Office, City Council and Office of Economic Development to help keep families in their homes.  Too often tenants have a financial “event”, a sick child, a broken car, or something similar and they miss all or part of their rent payment.  They are not comfortable or sure how to talk with their landlord, so they get further and further behind, until the day an eviction notice is filed.  Then it is too late and many bad things can happen.

Community Mediation Concepts is here to facilitate the conversation between tenants and landlords.  They'’ll help them talk to each other, figure the situation out and come up with a solution.  They ran a pilot for the past six months and were able to keep families in their home and/or avoid an eviction in over 55% of the cases we worked with.
  • All this takes place in a safe, confidential, honest and productive environment with the help and experience of a professional mediator.
  • There is no cost to the tenant or the landlord.
  • Solutions that are agreed to in mediation are almost always more cost effective, timely, comprehensive and lasting.  This is because those involved in the situation are making decisions that work best for them, that they can commit to, and that will actually resolve the problem. 
  • Mediation also helps build trust and responsibility going forward.

Here is how it works:
  1. Give Community Mediation Concepts a call or send them an email.  They’ll respond quickly and ask a bit more about the situation.  
  2. If mediation seems like something that might work for you, they’ll get started.
  3. Community Mediation Concepts will contact the other party, explain the process and get their commitment to move forward.
  4. Community Mediation Concepts will schedule your mediation as quickly as you’d like.  They mediate during the day, evenings, and on weekends.  They’ll also find a place to mediate close to where you live, whether this is a library, rec. center or elsewhere.
  5. Community Mediation Concepts will write your points of agreement up as a Memorandum of Understanding and you’ll both sign.  They will either provide a copy then or email a copy to you.

If you’re not sure, just give them a call and they’ll explore the opportunity with you and answer any questions you have.  If you believe mediation or a facilitated conversation will be helpful – you decide.
