What are habitability standards?

Habitability standards dictate that you should live in a safe home, and that you shouldn’t suffer from infestations, nonfunctioning utility services, and other conditions that materially impact the tenancy.

What rights do tenants have over landlords?

The right to live in a safe and healthy home, with working utility service and free from infestations of vermin or other conditions which materially impact the tenancy.

Can I sue my landlord for negligence?

Yes, if your landlord breaches the duty to provide a safe home, allows conditions which create a material risk of fire, fails to repair serious problems, does not conduct adequate pest control, or ignores an order from the city or county to make repairs.

What’s the fastest way to get my landlord to make repairs?

Give the landlord notice in writing of all the conditions which need to be repaired. If they do not make repairs within 35 days, notify the Housing Department or Health Department.

Illegal Eviction Protection

Landlords must abide by renter’s rights for businesses and homes. That means upholding healthy living conditions for clients, and when they fail to maintain conditions in line with clients’ civil rights, our firm and legal practice steps in. Your landlord is not the authority on your rights as a tenant, and you can contact us to reassert justice for yourself.

The US court system for landlord-client relationships is complex, but our firm only represents tenants and can help guide you through the residential or business rental legal process. Our firm never represents landlords and is committed to fair practices for personal and business clients. You can contact us to get started with navigating the US legal system to safeguard your civil rights as a renter or tenant.

The Brinton Firm LLP chooses clients from all sectors of society to help establish and maintain rights even under the harshest landlord-tenant agreements. Our clients praise us for protecting their civil rights and getting justice from landlords who often threaten eviction. Rather than side with them, we help clients like you get legal results and remedies, including settlements.

You have rights to livable and safe conditions without the threat of eviction if you have a dispute with a landlord. You must know your rights and get informed by a legal practice and firm like The Brinton Firm LLP.
