DID YOU KNOW?
 

 When you don’t pay your rent your landlord cannot throw you out.

The landlord must begin an eviction action in court to have you removed from the premises. The landlord cannot decide the law on his or her own when you don’t pay your rent.

 The landlord locked me out.

First, contact the police. In most states, a lockout is a crime and the police will order the landlord to let you back into the property.

 Landlords have rights to enter their rental properties. 

In most states, if the tenant gives permission to enter the apartment then the landlord may enter at that time. Also, they may enter the premise during emergency situations such as a fire or major water main leak. In all other cases, the renter has the right to privacy.
