About the Book

More states than ever before are passing laws--such as rent control and eviction prevention laws--to protect tenants. This book helps renters navigate and use these new protections (along with the old ones) to their advantage, and offers timely advice on how tenants can handle common rental-related problems without assistance from a lawyer.

Book Synopsis

Renters have many legal rights-- learn yours and how to protect them!

The only book of its kind, Every Tenant's Legal Guide gives you the legal and practical information you need (plus dozens of sample letters and forms) to find a great rental and landlord.

Learn your rights regarding pets, guests, deposits, and privacy--and find out how to:

get repairs and use rent withholding or repair-and-deduct if you have to
avoid disputes with roommates over rent, deposits, guests, and noise
fight illegal discrimination, retaliation, or sexual harassment
navigate state and local rent control laws
deal with hazards like lead paint, mold, or bed bugs
break a lease with minimum liability, and
get your security deposit returned on time.

The 10th edition of Every Tenant's Legal Guide includes charts with the details on landlord-tenant laws. This edition also includes information on how to research and handle pandemic-related issues such as eviction bans and lease amendments.

With downloadable forms: Includes move-in and move-out forms, and security deposit demand letter--available for download (details inside).

Review Quotes

This superb book is written primarily for residential tenants, but landlords should read it, too... On my scale of 1 to 10, this outstanding book rates an off-the-chart 12. Robert Bruss, nationally syndicated columnist

A perfect fit for young adults about to commit to a financial obligation that could cost them $12,000 to $24,000 per year.. Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine

Don't let any landlord violate your rights. If you are having a problem, do the research. Get a copy of a renter's law book, such as the Nolo's Every Tenant's Legal Guide...Los Angeles Times

Virtually every book from Nolo can be highly recommended without reservations. This book is no exception.Chicago Tribune

"Although this superb book is written primarily for residential tenants, landlords should also read it for its valuable information." Oakland Tribune
