landlord-tenant rights

Landlord-tenant rights govern the relationship between property owners and renters. Tenants have the right to a safe and habitable living environment, privacy, and fair treatment, including protection from discrimination. They must pay rent on time and follow lease terms. Landlords have the right to receive timely rent, access to the property for repairs (with notice), and to enforce lease rules. Both parties can seek legal recourse for violations, such as eviction for non-payment or lease breaches. Understanding these rights helps ensure a fair and respectful rental experience for all involved.
