Housing Temporary Restraining Order

This interview will help you ask the court for emergency help to stop your landlord from:

• Locking you out of your home without a court order
• Shutting off your utilities
• Entering your home without permission
• Violating your right to "quiet enjoyment" of your home

You may also use this interview to ask the court to order your landlord to make repairs to your home or to pay you money.

If your situation is more complex, you may want to use GetUpToCode instead. GetUpToCode can help you with more options to find and report housing problems, including the problems listed above.

• Options if your landlord refuses to make repairs
