Pause when legal use or authority is unclear, the agreement or ledger is missing, inspection evidence is weak, an active safety or water issue is unresolved, insurance is uncertain, access or notice is disputed, a deadline may be missed, reserves are thin, or the desired outcome assumes possession, a deduction, or a remedy that has not been confirmed.
When to ask for help
This becomes urgent with active damage or loss of an essential service, safety or insurance concern, disputed access, material arrears, an expiring or missed notice window, move-in or move-out, deposit accounting, RTDRS service or hearing, a fixed closing, or any attempt to promise vacant possession.
