A new study entitled "A Descriptive Analysis of Tenant Right to Counsel Law and Praxis 2017–2024" that was released on Friday by multiple universities outlines tenants' rights to counsel in eviction actions. According to a Law360 article about the study, there are "only five states, 17 cities and one county" that guarantee legal representation to tenants facing eviction. Notably, Cleveland is listed as one of only a few large cities that have created Right to Counsel (RTC) programs. The article details both successes and challenges the programs face nationwide. Among other issues, the article noted that ""Even where funding was available, multiple large jurisdictions struggled to identify a pool of attorneys to staff the program," and local attorneys to be "underpaid and overburdened."
