Tenant Landlord Laws

Tenant-landlord laws set the rights and responsibilities for both parties in a rental agreement. Landlords must ensure the property is safe, maintain repairs, and follow lease terms. Tenants have the right to peaceful enjoyment, privacy, and to pay rent on time. In exchange, tenants must pay rent, avoid damage, and adhere to lease rules. Laws also cover security deposits, eviction procedures, and habitability standards. These laws protect both parties by providing clear expectations and legal recourse if disputes arise. They vary by location but generally aim to balance fair treatment and responsible renting.
