Housing Issues

IDG Legal’s Landlord-Tenant Legal Support service offers free legal assistance for drivers. You will be able to meet with a lawyer who is volunteering their time pro bono. They will be able to give you general advice about landlord-tenant disputes, pursuing a case in small claims court, New York City housing law, understanding legal documents such as leases or eviction notices, and let you know your rights as a tenant. If appropriate, they will also direct you to other government resources or other nonprofit organizations that can help further your case. 

Our partnership is with the New York County Lawyers Association.

IDG Legal is a project of the Independent Drivers Guild (IDG). We were created to focus on providing drivers with affordable — often free– legal services and resources from qualified lawyers who understand the rideshare business and the unique challenges faced by drivers.
