I called several of the legal assistance for HIV+ numbers when I received the Three Day Notice two weeks ago. The only one who returned my call was Legal Aid in Harlem. I am appreciative of any help I get but the paralegal I spoke to just repeated the call HASA mantra. I did a lot of research after I received the 3-day notice. I found several reasons why I he coudn't take me to court. She didn't want to address any of these issues. She would say , " I don't know about that. Call HASA they will pay".
Could you suggest an agency that may be more helpful short-term to deal with the Non-Payment Notice and if different an advocate agency who will help me prove the apartment was illegally deregulated, get the rent adjusted down and help me apply for DRIE?
Thank you in advance. I know if I start down the legal road with the wrong representation I will likely regret it later.
