Where you might be

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.

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.

Get started

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 (SCRA 50 USC § 3955), domestic violence (VAWA 34 USC § 12491), habitability failure, constructive eviction, or mutual termination -- six grounds for early termination, each with the right statutory citation.
