Landlord-Tenant

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, knowing and complying with dozens of laws, and using the proper forms, is crucial. Nolo experts provide the legal answers (including the latest state laws) and forms landlords and tenants need to protect their rights and avoid costly legal fees and lawsuits. Nolo books and forms cover a wide range of issues--from what’s legally required (or prohibited) in leases, rental applications, and other forms, to landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities when it comes to repairs, tenant privacy, late rent, security deposits, roommates, pets, broken leases, and evictions.
