Landlords are generally prohibited from locking a tenant out of the premises, from taking a tenant's property for nonpayment of rent (except for abandoned property under certain conditions), or from intentionally terminating a tenant's utility service. Various penalties exist for violating these protections.
Landlords are responsible to make all repairs in the unit except in cases where tenants or invitees of the tenant cause the damage. Tenants may also be liable for repairs that are the result of unreported issues in the apartment if those issues cause further damage in the unit.
Changes to how you pay rent Landlords cannot require tenants to pay electronically. Starting June 2022, a landlord must allow you to pay rent by personal check unless one of your rent checks bounced in the last 9 months.
Tenants without a lease agreement also have the right to privacy. The landlord cannot enter your rental property without your consent, except in emergencies or other legally allowed circumstances. The landlord must provide reasonable notice before entering the rental property for repairs, inspections, or other reasons.
Generally, the landlord must give you at least 2 days' written notice before entering your rental to make repairs or inspect the place. If the landlord wants to show the rental unit to a potential new tenant or buyer, the landlord only has to give you a 1 day written notice.
