The Right to Counsel Worst Evictors

Thanks to a collaboration with JustFix.nyc and the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project we are excited to have a new website, www.worstevictorsnyc.org, which names the worst evictors in the neighborhoods where Right to Counsel is in effect, maps all NYC evictions in 2018, and connects tenants to their rights, including their Right to Counsel. 


RTC is incredibly powerful, and almost everyone who fights their case with an attorney wins.  However, not enough tenants know about their new right, and many are too intimidated to use it. Tenants are told that evictions are their fault, but the widespread use of housing court to threaten and evict tenants by particular landlords is part of what’s driving the eviction crisis. 

We created this list to encourage tenants to stand up, use RTC, organize and fight back! We are here to fight with you. When you fight, we all win.

Here are flyers about the worst RTC evictors in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx.

The Right to Counsel NYC Coalition is a tenant led broad based coalition that formed in 2014 to disrupt Housing Court as a center of displacement and stop the eviction crisis that has threatened our families, our neighborhoods and our homes for too long. Our Coalition is made up of tenants, organizers, advocates, legal services organizations and more! Our work is rooted in principles of equity, dignity, humanity, diversity and justice. After a hard fought, 3 year grassroots campaign, we won and became the first city in the nation to establish a Right to Counsel for tenants facing eviction. Our campaign has inspired a movement across the country.
