Miami-Dade residents facing eviction will soon have a new tool to help resolve their dispute with their landlord. The county is launching a courtHELP platform that will give landlords and tenants the opportunity to resolve their eviction online.

“As eviction moratoriums end, courts statewide are bracing for a sharp rise in eviction cases,” said Nushin G. Sayfie, Chief Judge of the Miami-Dade Courts in a statement. “We believe that courtHELP will make it easy for landlords and tenants to start communicating and resolving their differences early on – well before the case proceeds to a full court process.”

“Launching courtHELP is an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to address the housing crisis,” said Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava in a statement. “We are committed to doing everything we can to protect struggling landlords and tenants and get relief to those in need; this is an important new tool in our toolkit to proactively prevent evictions.”
