Amazon.com Review
Anyone who's ever run afoul of a landlord will appreciate the information contained in Every Tenant's Legal Guide, a comprehensive handbook of tenants' rights put out by Nolo Press. Are you curious about the strange-sounding clause in your lease? What's the best way to make sure your security deposit is returned when you move out? Janet Portman and Marcia Stewart answer these and countless other questions as they walk readers through each step of renting, from finding an apartment to giving notice. Credit reports, rent control, grace periods for late rent, privacy rights, evictions--the book lists the legal rights and responsibilities of both landlord and tenant in almost every rental situation imaginable. If you do get into legal difficulties, the state-by-state charts listing key landlord-tenant laws might come in especially handy. But the time to acquire this book is before things come to such a pass. With Every Tenant's Legal Guidein hand, you just might save yourself a lot of aggravation--and money.

Tenant's do have rights!!!!,
By JAH "Knowledge is Power" (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Every Tenant's Legal Guide (Paperback)
Until you read this book, you will be taken advantage of from landlords who know you haven't read the book. I have rented for years and thought if I am a good tenant and pay my rent everything will be wonderful...UNTIL that day!!! By reading this book, I learned there were many times as a renter my rights were violated. I am an excellent tenant with more knowledge. By knowing my rights I have been able to keep situations from getting to the UGLY stage between the tenant and landlord.

Anyone paying rent, and any public library catering to renters, needs Attorney Janet Portman and Marcia Stewart's 5th updated edition of EVERY TENANT'S LEGAL GUIDE: it is the only book to provide legal details for handling not just landlords, but roommates and other tenants. From getting drug dealers out of the building to handling asbestos, getting a landlord to make repairs, and putting a roommate situation on a solid legal foundation, EVERY TENANT'S LEGAL GUIDE is an essential reference which should be part of any general public lending library collection.
