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
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.
