Landlord Tenant Law Guide, Resources & information

Landlord-tenant law governs the rental of commercial and residential property. It is composed primarily of state statutory and common law.

The basis of the legal relationship between a landlord and tenant is grounded in both contract and property law. The tenant has a property interest in the land (historically a non-freehold estate) for a given period of time.

Know your rights and exercise them for a safe, better future.
