What Rights Do Landlords Have?
Abstract
First, there is one important question to discuss: How did landlord-tenant laws shift in favor of tenants, rather than the landlord, who invested a lot of money in a house or apartment? Reasons for Revising Housing Laws Changes to housing law legislation resulted from a growing awareness of the welfare of tenants. The right to tell a tenant how clean to keep the house A landlord has the right to ensure a certain level of cleanliness in the rental unit. A landlord has the right to assess potential tenants based on the following criteria: A physical interview or meeting to assess the prospective tenant's suitability. Right to evict tenants for lease violations Tenants have obligations to the landlord while using their property. Violation of any of these rules or failure to comply with them gives landlords the right to serve an eviction notice to "Cure or quit." For example, suppose a tenant fails to pay rent. Right to make a "Moving-out" inspection The landlords have the right to inspect the property whenever the tenant notifies them of their desire to leave the property. It's vital to remember that landlords have specific rights to collect rent on time, make regular inspections, and evict a tenant for a lease violation.
