Renters' Rights
About this book
Sooner or later it will happen âŚ
The landlord ignores your repair requests. Your roommates are once again late with their share of the rent. Your upstairs neighbors party all the time. The landlord won't return your security deposit. How can you deal with these problemsâand othersâor prevent them from happening at all? Turn to Renters' Rights if you need to:
- break a lease and leave early
- sublet your apartment
- deal with unwelcome landlord intrusions
- resolve a dispute with your roommate
- get your landlord to make repairs
- collect your full security deposit when you move out
- fight discrimination or retaliation, and
- put your best foot forward when applying for a rental.
This edition is completely updated to reflect changes to state laws. It also includes more details on rent control and COVID-19-related advice for renters.
