FAQ
How can I know if I can sue my landlord?
Before deciding to sue your landlord, it's important to understand the legal basis for your claim and the potential consequences. Some common reasons for suing a landlord include:
- Uninhabitable conditions: Failure to make necessary repairs or maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition
- Discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, or disability
- Unlawful eviction or harassment
- Failure to return a security deposit
- Breach of quiet enjoinments
It's better to gather evidence to support your claim, such as photographs of the condition of the property, any written correspondence with your landlord, and witness statements.
