Why The Tenant Team!

Frequently Asked Questions

Tenant habitability refers to the legal obligation of landlords to provide and maintain rental properties in a condition that is safe, healthy, and livable. As a tenant, you have the right to live in a safe and habitable environment. This includes basic amenities such as proper plumbing, electricity, heating, and structural integrity.

If your rental property is uninhabitable, you should first notify your landlord in writing, detailing the issues and requesting repairs. If the landlord fails to address the problems, you may need to seek legal assistance to ensure your rights are protected.

The Tenant Team specializes in tenant habitability cases. We provide legal representation, assist with medical evaluations scheduling, and comprehensive support to help tenants living in unsafe conditions. Our goal is to ensure you receive the necessary repairs, compensation, and care.

In some jurisdictions, tenants may have the right to withhold rent if the landlord fails to make necessary repairs. However, this is a complex legal issue, and it's important to seek legal advice before taking this step to ensure you comply with local laws.

To support your habitability claim, gather evidence such as photographs of the issues, copies of written complaints to the landlord, medical records if your health has been affected, and any other relevant documentation that demonstrates the uninhabitable conditions.

It is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant for filing a habitability complaint. If you believe you are being evicted in retaliation, you should seek legal assistance immediately to protect your rights.

To get started with The Tenant Team, simply contact us through our website or by phone. We'll schedule a FREE consultation to discuss your situation, review the details of your case, and determine the best course of action to help you achieve a safe and habitable living environment.
