PART OF PRO BONO MARCH MADNESS: From Bankhead to Buckhead, from modest to mansion, all Atlantans deserve safe and stable housing. The law requires timely repairs and faithful adherence to eviction procedures. But when landlords break the law, tenants in low-income areas have fewer resources to enforce the law in court.
