The Blackbottom Group Landlord Consent is a community-based organization  designed to resolve past-due rent arrears directly between a tenant and property owner without taking on third-party debt or prior to going to court or following the initial court hearing

Operating out of Detroit, The Blackbottom Group Eviction Prevention Services uses  a Landlord Consent Agreement as a neutral facilitating tool to help stabilize housing and keep eviction filings off tenants’ public records.

Key Functions of the Agreement

• Structured Balance Workout: Instead of forcing the tenant to take out a high-cost personal loan or face immediate eviction, the agreement breaks the past-due balance (“arrearage”) into manageable monthly installments attached to ongoing rent payments (typically over 3 to 6 months).
• 0% Interest & Fee Waiver: Unlike commercial subprime loans, the agreement freezes late fees, administrative penalties, and interest on back rent while the plan is active.
• Legal Forbearance: In exchange for the agreed payment schedule, the landlord signs a conditional consent agreement to pause, withhold, or stay formal legal actions (such as issuing a Notice to Quit or filing a Demand for Possession).
• Non-Loan Legal Status: Because the agreement is a bilateral lease workout directly between tenant and landlord, it is not a third-party money loan. This allows community organizations to administer the framework without needing state consumer lending licenses under regulations like Michigan’s Regulatory Loan Act.

Role of The Blackbottom Group

Within the framework, The Blackbottom Group acts solely as a neutral community facilitator. The organization helps structure realistic repayment timelines, monitors compliance, and provides case management or housing stabilization assistance, but does not act as a co-signer, lender, or financial guarantor of the tenant’s debt.
