Use these free icons to make more effective visual designs about eviction, housing court, and landlord-tenant problems.
The Stanford Legal Design Lab has made various visual designs for better outreach & guides for eviction prevention. As a part of that, we have also made many icons to use in these designs.
We offer them here to be used freely for any non-commercial initiative. You can feel free to use them, remix them, and publish them, as long as it is for a non-profit effort.
In more technical legal terms, we release these icons under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.
