Residential Landlord-Tenant Law

Residential landlord / tenant law deals with issues of rental or lease of residential real property. State statutory and common laws apply in residential landlord / tenant law, while the basis of the landlord / tenant relationship is governed by property law and contract law.

Consequences of Residential Landlord/Tenant:

If you are a residential landlord or residential tenant, you should know all the laws that apply to you. Both landlords and tenants have obligation and responsibilities. Residential landlords should:
