You have rights as a tenant, and you have options for resolving a dispute with your landlord through negotiation or court. As a tenant, you should feel comfortable going to your landlord for help when an issue arises in your residence. Unfortunately, not all landlords provide the quality of customer service they should or even abide by laws and regulations. If you experienced a problem in your home that led to a dispute with your landlord, know that you have rights and options.
Disputes Between Landlords and Tenants
First, let’s address some basic terms you will need to know. As the renter of an apartment or home, you are the “tenant.” The owner or management company that acts on behalf of the owner is called the “landlord.”
Some disputes between these two parties include:
Rental deposit refund disputes
Disputes related to the lease
Disputes related to needed repairs or habitability
Disputes over rent increases
Whatever the dispute, being proactive may help you address the initial problem with your residence that started the dispute.

Give Your Landlord the Benefit of the Doubt
Assume that your landlord is a good person and wants to do the right thing. There is definitely a chance you can get your issue resolved both by being a good tenant and by approaching the problem with a positive attitude.
There’s no real trick to being a “good tenant.” It starts with the basics, such as paying your rent on time. Taking care of the property. Abiding by the lease, including any restrictions.
The uncertainty caused by the coronavirus has introduced new burdens that many didn’t worry about under normal circumstances. Simply being able to pay the rent is a new primary concern for millions, and the recent economic downturn has forced those thrust out of work to consider the possibility of eviction if they aren’t able to put together rent money for the next month. An eviction is a frightening prospect at any time, and especially so when most of the country is being asked to stay at home. Fortunately, tenants have some rights in the process that can at least prevent unfair eviction, along with new emergency measures in place that may allow them to stay, even if they can’t meet their obligation on the first of the month.
Your lease and the applicable laws are a guide to the expectations of your landlord, and protection against unfair eviction. Your landlord can evict you, with the proper process, for failure to pay the rent or for violations of the terms of your lease. Your lease also dictates who can live in your apartment, and what you can do while living there.
Landlords are within their rights to evict a tenant that has an unauthorized pet; has engaged in unpermitted subletting, or illegal activities within the unit. As lengthy as your lease may be, it’s worth reading it before signing to make sure you understand what you can and cannot do as a tenant. If it’s been a while, re-read your lease to ensure that you are not currently violating any of those terms. You should have a lawyer review your documents and advise as to the laws that impact the rights of tenants.
I’ve lost my job and can’t pay my rent. What rights do I have?
Landlord-Tenant laws vary by state but generally, even if you’re out of work and without an income, your landlord can’t preemptively evict you from your place of residence without going through the due process of eviction. That means he or she will normally be required to give you notice of the termination of your lease and go through the proper eviction process before you are required to vacate the property. It is important to know if your city or state (To continue reading, click the following link> https://covid19.wearelegalshield.com/post/tenant-considerations-amid-a-global-crisis
