housing courts
Landlord-tenant legal venues
Housing courts are specialized tribunals that handle disputes between landlords and tenants—evictions, rent disputes, housing code violations, and lease disagreements.
Most major American cities have them, processing high volumes of cases where tenants often appear without lawyers while landlords typically have legal representation.
