I have seen what free lawyers do for tenants. It costs smaller companies thousands of dollars when a tenant is lying
and has a lawyer willing to go along with it because he is getting paid by the state. It cost the company over $20,000
to fight a two year lawsuit where the opposing attorney actually fired the judge at one point. It cost the owner of
the property over $22,000 for repairs of the apartment. It cost the insurance companies untold thousands to settle
out of court because it would cost more just to go back to court. If tenants are given free representation, Landlords
and Owners large and small should also be given free representation or you will ultimately drive the small
management firms and mom and pop rentals OUT of business.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address comments@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all
information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
