Tenant rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements that individuals have when renting 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. Tenants also have the right to receive proper notice before eviction and to have their security deposits returned under specific conditions. Additionally, tenants are entitled to request repairs and maintenance from their landlords, who are legally obligated to address these issues in a timely manner. Understanding local housing laws and tenant advocacy organizations can help renters navigate their rights and responsibilities effectively.
