If you believe you may be evicted very soon, you can check whether you're scheduled for an eviction today by calling the Clerk's Office at 202-879-4879. You can then call the Landlord Tenant Legal Assistance Network to be connected to an intake specialist. The Landlord and Tenant Branch live chat feature is available on the internet Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The live chat feature is located to the far right margin of the page. You can ask the clerk to direct you to a lawyer that may be able to assist you. Please note that if you are scheduled to be evicted today, you may wish to leave someone you trust at your home to remain with your belongings in the event of an eviction.
