Online Dispute Resolution


The Justice of the Peace Court is working off a backlog of landlord/tenant cases created by the public health emergencies and the various moratoriums on evictions.

The Court will refer Landlord/Tenant cases filed on or after July 1, 2020, to the new Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) system beginning November 2, 2020. Using ODR is the first step in resolving your case. Please view the web page, documents, and videos below to learn more.
