Legal Services State Support is excited to announce a brand new Eviction Expungement interactive interview available online through LawHelpMN.org. The Eviction Expungement interview was created by Jenny Singleton, Legal/Technology Projects Manager at State Support, with substantive legal expertise contributed by Lindsey Hanson and Drew Schaffer of Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid, guidance from Central Minnesota Legal Services, and support from LSC's Technology Initiative Grant Program.

The free online interview is for those who want to ask the court to remove an eviction from their record, and who have either a Minnesota eviction case where the rent was not subsidized, or have a Minnesota eviction case where the renter received a Section 8 Voucher. The interview takes users step-by-step through all the information they will need to submit to the court in order to request the expungement. The interview then compiles the user’s information to suggest what evidence the user should try to get and create the forms the user will need to file with the court. To access the new interview, visit LawHelpMN.org. Other interactive interviews and forms are available on LawHelpMN.org/FormHelper.

The do-it-yourself interview explains the basics of eviction expungement and asks the user a series of questions about his or her case.
