Renters Legal Rights

Did you know that certain local, state, and federal laws are designed to protect renters? These laws range from the Federal Fair Housing Act to local statutes about when the landlord can enter your rental. While you will probably never encounter any problems with your apartment or rental home, being armed with knowledge is never a bad thing. 

Federal Fair Housing Act (FHA)
This law prohibits discrimination in the selling, renting, and financing of housing "on account of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin."
