Rights & Responsibilities of Landlords & Tenants

In this legal relationship, both sides have rights and responsibilities. The property owner has the right to receive the rent on time and have access to the property for repairs after giving proper notice. In turn, the landlord has the responsibility to maintain the rental property in safe condition and return the security deposit when the lease conditions are met.

On the flip side of the coin, the tenant has rights, too. These include the rights to fair access to housing without discrimination and to live in a habitable house or apartment. The renter also has responsibilities, such as paying the rent on time and the right to privacy. This means the landlord must give reasonable notice for a request to enter the property for repairs.

When the two sides disagree on any of these rights and responsibilities, it is time to consult with an attorney who has experience with these issues. This is the most efficient and effective way to resolve disputes and have your rights protected. Call our law firm today for a consultation.
