Landlord and Tenant Law

Landlord and Tenant Law governs the relationship between property owners (landlords) and those who rent or lease properties (tenants). It outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties, including lease agreements, rent payments, maintenance obligations, and eviction processes. Landlords must provide safe and habitable living conditions, while tenants must pay rent on time and respect the property. Disputes can arise over issues like security deposits, repairs, or lease violations, and these laws help resolve conflicts, often through local housing courts or mediation. Understanding these laws protects both parties’ interests in rental agreements.
