Every Tenant's Legal Guide

What recourse do tenants have if a landlord refuses to rent to them because they have kids, withholds their security deposit or enters their home without notice? The first book of its kind, Every Tenant's Legal Guide gives tenants in all 50 states the legal and practical information they need to deal with their landlords and protect their rights when things go wrong. It shows tenants how to:

-- choose a home and inspect it before moving in

-- sign a fair and legal lease or rental agreement (or design their own)

-- get a landlord to make needed repairs and provide safe premises

-- complain about illegal discrimination

-- protect privacy rights and deal with a difficult landlord

-- make sure their security deposit is returned fairly and on time

-- get drug-dealing tenants out of their building or neighborhood

-- respond to the presence of environmental hazards
