O b e r l i n H u m a n R e l a t i o n s C o m m i s s i o nTenant Rights Information • May 5th, 2020
Contract Type FiledMay 5th, 2020The purpose of this handbook is to make you aware of your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. The law protects you from unfair treatment, but it also protects a landlord. One example is that the law may not necessarily force a landlord to improve your housing conditions. Another example is that you, as the tenant, must pay rent when it is due. Not having enough money is not normally a legitimate excuse for not paying rent. (NOTE: This is intended to apply only to residential leases or oral agreements.) In addition, the law changes so if you have a specific legal problem, you should consult an attorney.
