“Adam Leitman Bailey helped us put an end to an incredibly toxic situation despite the odds being against us. I am forever grateful to him and his team and his firm.”
“My husband and I renovated a small cottage property in our area, doing much of the work ourselves. We had a nightmare tenant move in who would be any landlord’s complete and total nightmare: She was perfectly kind at first and had a young daughter and elderly mother. However, once she got the keys her rent checks bounced, she lied relentlessly (and badly), gaslighted us, unreachable even going so far as changing her cell number, it was clear she was a hoarder, living amongst garbage and months worth of pet waste in the home (pets were not allowed according to our lease). Rather than discarding her cat’s litter, for example, she simply threw it onto the house’s back patio and backyard. She broke the toilet in the first months of living there, but never told us and also didn’t stop using the toilet. She didn’t take care of the yard at all or the exterior of the house at all. It was a heartbreaking, haunting and awful situation for us, compounded by the fact she (not us) was protected by the law under the COVID moratorium. We went around the many firms locally and in the city, begging for them to help get this person out of our house. We had proof of lying, no rent being paid; the house was obviously in horrible shape. Everyone just shrugged and told us nothing could be done. Then I reached out to Adam Leitman Bailey. He listened to us, put together a great team and a plan. He told us that the case was not impossible – that gave us hope. It was the first time someone had told us that this person who had essentially stolen our home and was ruining it could be held accountable and forced to leave. Adam and his team were always available and responsive. When our court day came close, he was very clear about the process and the possible outcomes. Ultimately, a judge reviewed Adam Leitman Bailey’s thorough brief and concluded that our tenant had no protections from ERAP, nor the moratorium and issued an eviction order. This was a huge win for us and ended a year of psychodrama that we’ll never forget and learned some very hard lessons from. Adam Leitman Bailey helped us to put an end to an incredibly toxic situation despite the odds being against us. I am forever grateful to him and his team and his firm.”
