Florida legal aid providers not only offer in-person aid, but now there’s a tool to respond to evictions online.
Many people in the Tampa Bay area are having a hard time paying their rent and finding themselves out on the street. In the last few months, we’ve seen renters evicted at the Holly Court Apartments in North Tampa and the Stanton Apartments and Hotel in St. Petersburg.
Evictions have been pretty consistent throughout the pandemic after the statewide moratorium expired two years ago. Just last week, there were more than 200 new filings in the Bay Area according to the tracking site Eviction Lab.
