Landlord/Tenant Law

1. What is my landlord not allowed to do?
The landlord can't make you:
-sign a rental agreement for a place that is condemned or the law says no one can live in.
-intentionally shut off your utilities.
-lock you out of the place.
-take your personal property without your permission.
-enter your apartment without telling you 2 days ahead of time by written notice.
-try to physically remove you from the dwelling without a court order.

2. What if my rent payment is late?
If you are late paying your rent, use the rental place for illegal acts or seriously damage the property, you can lose your tenants' rights.

3. What if I think my landlord's lease is unfair?
If you do not like the lease, then don't sign it. You and the landlord can always cross out or add words. Just remember to have both you and your landlord initial each change.
