Securing Spencer's Housing

Meet Spencer, a permanent hotel resident. Spencer applied for PSLS services after he and his husband received an eviction notice from hotel management stating that he had not been paying rent. PSLS took on Spencer’s case and walked the legal journey with him. PSLS learned that Spencer was in fact up to date on his rent payments, but the hotel had been charging Spencer for hotel taxes that he did not owe. PSLS was a voice for Spencer in court, asserting that under Illinois law permanent hotel residents do not have to pay hotel taxes and there was no basis for eviction because Spencer already paid the hotel what he owed. Thanks to PSLS' high-quality legal services, Spencer and his husband avoided eviction!
