I am reaching out to the HIVEMIND specifically for anyone who is in Ohio. I need a landlord Tenant Lawyer as quickly as possible. I am disabled and a woman. I currently live with my father and he has raised my rent to an amount that I cannot pay. If I cannot get the second half of the rent by the end of the month an eviction notice will be presented to me at the beginning of next month. Due to living with my father the reason for this is due to emotional connection and disliking something that I have done. Even better if someone could actually give me some ideas of housing in the north east part of Ohio. The rent is too much for me to continue to pay but maybe I can find the rest for the month and next month so I can finish my schooling for this semester and find a place to live. I will not disclose any more details. If someone can assist me with that lawyer that would be greatly appreciated.

@ablade@mastodon.stickbear.me I don't have the name of a lawyer, but writing to offer my support. I do hope there is some sort of rental increase cap law in your state, of which he cannot legally go beyond. That is likely the only way you will legally be able to fight this and win. Alternatively, there is hopefully a legal landloard and tenant tribunal of some form to whom you may register a complaint, and while those proceedings are in process, your eviction may not be enforceable until they are resolved in either parties favour. All these things are true in Ontario, Canada, which means absolutely nothing in your case, but hopefully opens the door to possibilities in your state. Hoping for the best here.
