Bill of Rights for Tenants

The Bill of Rights for Tenants outlines the fundamental rights tenants have when renting a property. It ensures tenants can live in safe, habitable conditions, with access to essential utilities like water and heat. Tenants have the right to privacy, meaning landlords cannot enter without permission. It also protects tenants from unfair eviction, discrimination, and retaliation. Landlords are responsible for maintaining the property and addressing repairs promptly. These rights aim to create a fair, respectful relationship between tenants and landlords, ensuring renters are treated fairly and have a safe, secure place to live.
