Landlord and Tenant are terms that are typically used almost everywhere in various countries. The Landlord-tenant law includes rights and obligations each landlord and each tenant has with each other in regard to the rental of property. Simply put, their relationship is bound by the lease agreement.
Landlord-tenant law is a part of the common law, although it also includes the elements of both property law and contract law. Both parties need to acknowledge the fundamentals of renting a property, collection or payment of security deposits, the basics of state and federal laws on fair housing, etc.
The landlord and tenant law protects the rights of both parties. For example, The Fair Housing Act protects tenants from civil rights violations, including discrimination. On the contrary, landlords also have legal rights, mainly related to the protection of their income investment namely getting a monthly payment of rent from the tenant and the right to evict should the agreement is not met.
Should the lease agreement be broken, or if either party fails to follow it a dispute may occur, causing legal actions to be taken. A lawyer with expertise in contract law will be able to help review the legal details in the agreement and resolve the issues in arbitration or the court of law.
