Representing Yourself in Baltimore City Rent Court

The Public Justice Center and Megaphone Project announce their new film collaboration --  "Stand Up For Yourself in Baltimore City Rent Court."  This 24 minute film is for the nearly 150,000 tenants who are sued for eviction for nonpayment of rent in Baltimore City's District Court every year.  Filmed in the District Court with court personnel, this film dramatizes common defenses and court room procedures that tenants will encounter. The film is presented here in three parts.
