For almost two years, Luis Castro fought not one, but five eviction notices. He now continues in his home of 14 years, an example of the importance of knowing your rights as a tenant.
"What I did was I didn't get out," Castro said.
"It seems like someone who knows the laws and knows how to push the landlord because a lot of tenants don't get the opportunity to do that and he did the right thing," explained Gilberto Vera, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society. "We reached an agreement, and they are going to give me the equivalent of $30,000, $10,000 in cash, and $20,000 of what I owed in rent," he said.
