Tenant-Landlord Law

Tenant-landlord law governs the relationship between tenants (those who rent) and landlords (property owners). It outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties, ensuring fair treatment. Key aspects include lease agreements, payment of rent, property maintenance, security deposits, and eviction processes. Laws vary by location, but they generally protect tenants from unfair eviction while requiring them to follow lease terms. Landlords must maintain safe, habitable conditions. Disputes can often be resolved through mediation or court, depending on the issue. Understanding these laws helps both tenants and landlords navigate their rights and responsibilities effectively.
