My last eviction in Massachusetts took 5 months for them to move via the court, left the place in shambles and was granted a repayment plan by a mediator of $ 50 per month till balance is paid off....

And you get a mediator at small claims court.

Provisions for dealing with disputes (arbitration or mediation, etc).

Then there was a mediation hearing.

Have to compromise or go into mediation.

I can refer them to some local mediations services.

@Kevin Dickson On your note about small claims court - I just rechecked my purchase agreement (standard PA realtor association contract) and it has as mediation clause... so I guess I have to go that route before pursuing legal action.

There is no mediation, or systems for problem solving.

Im no attorney, but MD has implemented Mediation to help owners and lender try to come up with an alt plan instead of foreclosure.

As mentioned the mold re-mediators are rip off artists and according to Texas state law you don't need to use them if you follow some simple rules.I wrote a blog on this several years ago here on BP.
