Landlord Tenant

Fast Help For Your Landlord-Tenant Issues

Disputes between landlords and tenants often have to do with misunderstandings or disagreements about who is responsible for what.

Tenants may legitimately complain when landlords:

• Do not keep property in good, livable condition
• Allow property to become dirty and unsanitary
• Do not follow codes and regulations designed to protect residents’ safety
• Do not provide basic services such as running water and heat
• Do not properly handle trash removal
• Enter tenants’ units without giving 24 hours’ notice (emergencies exempted)
• Fail to evict neighbors who are engaging in drug activity, as reported by law enforcement agencies

Landlords, on the other hand, complain when tenants:

• Do not pay rent on time (or within a reasonable stated grace period, or by agreement to pay later in special circumstances)
• Damage the premises
• Keep properties messy, dirty and unsanitary
• Misuse electrical services or appliances, and/or plumbing fixtures
• Disregard safety rules, codes and laws, including drug manufacture, use and distribution prohibitions
• Disturb neighbors unreasonably
• Bar landlords from entering with proper notice
• Violate Drugs Laws
