What are my rights a a renter?

Question

what are tenants rights in a rental home on a month to month agreement? does anyone know where i can find out my rights and what the landlords rights are?

Answer 1

You should have signed the renters agreement. If you ask your landlord, you should be able to get a copy.

Answer 2

Check the Housing and Urban Development website for your state, or search for "renters and landlords right for _____ state" as a keyword search. Look for the link that takes you to your states website.

Answer 3

Depends on what you signed on the rental agreement. Also depends on what state you live in. Some things that are automatic; electrical, plumbing and  building integrity (holes in ceiling/floor/walls, mold) and insect/rodent extermination. These should all be taken care of by the owner.

As far as the month to month, I believe the owner must give you 60 days to move out, but again, I would check your agreement and local laws.

Answer 4

Google "Landlord/tenant rights" for your state.

Answer 5

Your local library might have a book on tenant's rights in your state - check with them.

Answer 6

state laws

Answer 7

Your rights are determined by state statute in the absence of a written lease.  Since you didn't indicate where you live, I can't tell you what rights your state's statutes provide.

Answer 8

Look up your state attorney general web site it will have a section on landlord/tenant rights but in general under a month to month agreement any party can usually terminate the lease agreement without cause with a proper full month notice
