The only book of its kind, Every Tenant's Legal Guide gives you the legal and practical information you need (plus dozens of sample letters and forms) to find and keep a great home and landlord. Learn your rights--whether it comes to pets, guests, deposits, or privacy--including how to:

• get your landlord to make repairs by using rent withholding or repair-and-deduct
• avoid disputes with roommates over rent, deposits, guests, and noise
• fight illegal discrimination, retaliation, or sexual harassment
• deal with hazards like lead paint, mold, or bedbugs
• break a lease with minimum liability, and
• get your security deposit returned on time.

This 9th edition of Every Tenant's Legal Guide includes the latest laws of your state--from security deposit rules to termination notice requirements. The book also includes expanded sections on tenant rights regarding sublets (including through Airbnb-type services), using marijuana in the rental, and self advertising (how social media can help landlords find you).
