A bad landlord can happen to anyone. It happened to me!
This is my tale. Dun-dun-dummmmmmmm.
Actually, I’ll spare you the details but basically my landlord started doing construction in my apartment, refused to give me details about it and the dust from the work gave me a sinus infection so I couldn’t stay there . This could not have been fair and just.
I then embarked on a journey during which I researched my rights, made calls to housing experts and learned all about what’s right and wrong in the renting world.
In my research I learned a lot I hadn’t known about my rights and I ultimately withheld rent. I know I’m not alone.
Here are some of the rights tenants have that are commonly violated by bad landlords and some of the local resources I found really helpful in creating my 14 page rent-withholding letter.
