Frequently Asked Questions
Landlord Tenant Law
Evicting Without a Lease. A landlord may evict a renter who does not have a lease and instead has a renter's agreement, as long as they give the tenant at least a 30-day notice. There is no reasoning required for a landlord to end this type of agreement.
Tenants can legally withhold rent, make repairs themselves and deduct from their rent, call the building
inspector, sue the landlord, or move out without notice. However, before a tenant can use the “repair and
deduct” method they need to review the local laws.

An important component of tenants legal rights is the right to privacy. Your landlord cannot come into
your home without notice and your state may have specific laws about how much notice you must be
given if the landlord needs to enter for repairs or show the unit when you move.

Three Day Pay or Vacate Notice. In order to win in court against eviction for non-payment of rent, the
tenant must be able to establish that they do not owe the rent the landlord is trying to collect. A 3-day pay
or vacate notice does not mean that you have to vacate the premises within three days.
