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
