Residential Tenant

A residential tenant is an individual who rents and occupies a residential property, such as an apartment, house, or condominium, under a lease or rental agreement. This agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the tenant and the landlord, including rent payment, maintenance duties, and duration of the tenancy. Tenants have the right to live in the property without interference, while landlords must ensure the property is safe and habitable. Generally, the relationship is governed by local laws that protect both parties’ interests.
