Why does Seayora tell my tenant about legal aid?
Because free representation for tenants exists almost everywhere and is a right in some places whatever you earn, so they will find it anyway — and because a case decided without the other side present is the one most likely to be reopened. A well-prepared case is not weakened by the other party understanding it.

What Seayora does not do
- It does not file anything. There is no e-filing, no court integration, and there will not be one. You or your lawyer file.
- It does not serve anything on anybody. A notice you serve through Seayora is served by you; the papers that start a court case are served the way your state requires, usually by a sheriff, constable, marshal or licensed process server.
- It does not evict. Only a court officer executing a court order can remove somebody from a home, in every state without exception.
- It is not legal advice and Seayora is not a law firm. Every step, deadline and citation is a starting point drawn from the statute named beside it. Courts, local rules and the facts of a tenancy change what applies. Have a lawyer look at anything you are about to file.
