Laws and States Statutes for Landlord/Tenant

Each State has different Laws that need to be followed in an eviction. Please take the time to read the Laws in your State.

 

 

Landlord tenant laws govern the relationship, rights and responsibilities of the parties to a residential rental agreement. Each of the 50 states has their own landlord tenant laws, with many statutes being very similar. However, there are also very significant differences in the statutes from one state to the next. Tenants, as well as landlords, both end up on the losing end of court cases regarding the landlord tenant laws in their state from time to time. The statutes actually protect all the parties, making sure that everyone who is party to a residential rental agreement complies with the landlord tenant laws in their state.

It is imperative that landlords have a copy of the landlord tenant laws in their state on hand at all times. Landlords should also familiarize themselves with the most important laws relevant to every tenancy. Every state has statutes regarding what is and is not permitted in a residential lease agreement. If you write or have someone else draw up a residential lease that violates the laws in your state, the courts could declare a particular clause or portion of your lease unenforceable or the entire lease unenforceable. Additionally, the courts could potentially award money damages to tenants as a result of your unenforceable or unconscionable rental agreement.

 

The Residential Landlord and Tenant Act that pertains to standard rental housing was enacted to govern the rental of dwelling units and the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants.
