Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Rhode Island

Self-help eviction is illegal in RI (see http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE34/34-18/34-18-44.HTM) and subjects the offending Landlord to penalties and damages (see http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE34/34-18/34-18-34.HTM).

For your information, LawyersCollaborative offers as a community service low cost telephone consultations, limited engagements, and low-bono and pro-bono services in appropriate cases.

Best wishes,
