Tenant rights are the legal protections and entitlements that individuals have when renting a property. These rights ensure that tenants can live in a safe and habitable environment, free from discrimination. Common rights include the right to privacy, the right to a written lease agreement, and the right to request repairs for any issues that affect their living conditions.
Additionally, tenants have the right to fair treatment during the eviction process. Landlords must follow specific legal procedures and cannot forcibly remove tenants without proper notice. Understanding these rights helps tenants advocate for themselves and maintain a positive rental experience.
