You received an eviction notice
Whether it’s a 3-day pay-or-quit or a 15-day notice to vacate, you need to know your rights and your deadlines. Not all eviction notices are valid.
Practice Area · Landlord-tenant
Housing is a right worth defending. Whether you're facing eviction, fighting for your security deposit, or dealing with an unresponsive landlord — get your paperwork right.
Where you might be
Your landlord won’t return your deposit
Most states require landlords to return security deposits within 30 days with an itemized statement. If they didn’t, you may be owed damages.
Your rental has habitability issues
Broken heat, mold, plumbing failures — landlords have a legal duty to maintain habitable conditions. Document everything and know your remedies.
You need to break a lease
Military deployment, domestic violence, uninhabitable conditions — several situations give you the legal right to terminate early.
