A ballot initiative in Denver aims to give renters more protection in court in the form of a guaranteed lawyer when facing eviction proceedings. via robharristv
DENVER — Evictions in Colorado have risen to levels not seen since the start of the pandemic, surpassing 3,000 per month, according to the Denver Post.
“Representation works,” said Wren Echo, an advocate for the initiative. “Tenants who show up with a lawyer to court tend to win their cases most of the time. And what we’ve seen from other cities is when they provide universal right to counsel, like we’re hoping to do here, the eviction rate shoots down dramatically afterward.”
“Any kind of bureaucratic red tape that comes with means means that some of the most vulnerable people in our communities aren’t able to access that program,” Echo said. “Really, what we’d like to see is everybody represented, because then that would mean that they’re having the same rights that they would have in a criminal case.”
