I was having an issue with my landlord trying to hold me to illegal lease clauses and other unethical actions after giving notice to move out. I hired Ms. Denny as D.C. housing law is complex. Ms Denny has an excellent knowledge of D.C. Housing law and is very professional. She researched the issues and handled all the communication. Her excellent communication skills and uncovering additional illegal actions swiftly brought an end to the matter. I highly recommend Ms. Denny and the D.C. Tenant Law Center - it was money well spent.

Cate did an exceptional job representing me and my wife in a tenant petition against a DC landlord. We brought several issues/concerns about our landlord to her attention and she helped us craft the best legal strategy to help us resolve our case and recover our security deposit and attorney fees. With Cate's help, we were able to settle before a mediation or hearing was necessary.

Ms. Denny went toe to toe with the lawyer of the national luxury housing corporation of which I was a tenant of after my roommate (who was on probation for attacking someone and whom physically attacked my close friend numerous times) had threatened physical violence against me on recording. Under DC Code § 42–3505.07, the leasing office is required by law to release tenants who reside with someone who has harmed or threaten to harm them--however the lawyers at the leasing office would not recognize me under the law when I went about it on my own. After Ms. Denny got involved, the dispute was settled out of court within a couple short weeks (which had previously been going on for months) and I was eventually released from my lease at zero expense to me. I certainly would not have achieved that outcome without the help of Ms. Denny.

We had such a good experience working with Cate at the D.C. Tenants' Rights Center. We are so grateful we found her! Cate was patient, empathetic, honest, and thorough. She always made sure she answered all our questions and never rushed us to make a decision. She gave us excellent legal advice and was very considerate of our budget at all times. Ultimately, our situation was resolved in our favor and we were so relieved. We couldn't be happier, and we highly recommend her!
