10 List of Useful Tenants Rights Compiled Edition Time-out.

1. You legally have the right to ask a homeowner, repairman, or anyone else to leave your apartment at any time.

2. The landlord must provide a notice at least 48 hours before entering the tenant’s property (i.e., the rented apartment), and can do so without prior notice only in an emergency.

3. You can check the official website of the city in which you are renting housing to see how many complaints were registered at your address, and what kind of violations they concerned.

4. You can check the landlord or owner of the company by asking a few questions to the employees of the company's office or residents of the house where you plan to rent an apartment.

5. The rent may be negotiable, although if your landlord is a large company, it will not be very compliant in this matter.

6. If a bedroom does not have a closet or window, then it is an “illegal” bedroom and may be considered a fire hazard.

7. If the building is undergoing major repairs that may affect health or safety, then you can legally refuse to rent.

8. Want to know how stable the rent in the house, the apartment in which you rent? For this there is a special website: amirentstabilized.com.

9. The worst thing that can happen to any tenant is bedbugs. The homeowner is required by law to get rid of these pests within 30 days and bear all costs of extermination.

10. You can talk badly about the owner of your apartment to your mother, the police, the media - anyone. As long as you are honest, of course. But your landlord cannot impose rent increases on you for this or restrict you from renewing your lease.
