JAOLA is a community-rooted, trauma-aware housing support agency. We assist tenants and small-scale landlords across Utah with nonjudgmental, bilingual guidance — no legal jargon, no hidden costs.

What We Offer

Lease Review & Red Flags

We translate lease language, explain what it means, and highlight clauses that could be used against you. If something feels off — we’ll confirm it.

Eviction Timeline Prep

We help tenants gather paperwork, build a legal response timeline, and prepare for court, mediation, or negotiation. You don’t have to enter the system unarmed.

Landlord Consulting & Policy Help

New or family landlords? We help you create clear, fair policies, templates, and written standards so you don’t end up in a legal mess.

“My landlord was threatening me with fake legal action. JAOLA walked me through my lease, helped me write a letter, and gave me the confidence to stand my ground. They made me feel like I wasn’t alone.” — Anonymous Client, Salt Lake City
