I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

neighbor's tree damaging my property. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 2 years. My monthly rent is $2,521. We are on a month-to-month now.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
