We are mindful that a significant number -- close to thirty percent -- of plaintiffs seeking an eviction are unrepresented, see Housing Court Department, Fiscal Year 2018 Statistics, and that unrepresented landlords face their own challenges. We focus this opinion on the challenges faced by unrepresented tenants, however, because the petitioners before us were defendants in the Housing Court and because landlords are represented far more frequently than tenants.
