Renters' rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements that individuals have when they lease a property. These rights can vary by location but generally include the right to a safe and habitable living environment, protection against discrimination, and the right to privacy. Renters are also entitled to receive proper notice before a landlord enters their unit and to have their security deposit returned under specific conditions. Additionally, renters have the right to challenge unfair eviction practices and to seek repairs for issues that affect their living conditions. Many areas have laws that limit how much rent can be increased and require landlords to provide written leases. Understanding these rights helps renters advocate for themselves and ensure fair treatment in their housing situations.
