Working with OSTA
What OSTA can and can't do for you, and how to work with us directly.

Would OSTA be able to sit in as a witness during a landlord mediation meeting?
Unfortunately not, we must stand by our long-time practice that we cannot interfere directly in a landlord-tenant relationship, even when invited and even if we keep silent. However, it is highly recommended you find someone from a third party to act as a witness during the meeting
