Customer Reviews

Very informative with wide range of topics covered

I am very impressed with how informative this book is and the range they cover in it. It covers from the very beginning of the process of what to look for when finding a place to rent and the obstacles/issues you may encounter and how to deal with them to end occurence of court, legal papers, forms and procedures and everything in between. The landlord/tenant checklist form towards the beginning is very smart and something tenants should have to protect themselves when they move in.

Fight for your Right.

If you tend to move around a lot, this is really good to have. I've moved 5 times in the last two years. It's high time I know what my rights are.

Always the best resource

These books are always great, full of helpful information and sample letters, etc. If renting, one should always have an updated version of this book on hand. Even if you never have to actually dazzle a landlord with your in depth knowledge acquired from this book, you will be happier just knowing you have the information.

Tenants for the 1st time

USeful, practical and if you are a renter, get this and companion landlord handbook. Everything you need to know to protect your rights and know your responsiblilities.

The book to have if your landlord is a jerk.

If your landlord is a jerk and you want to know what he (or she) can legally do or not do, this book will help. It will also give you some idea of when to go for professional help. It is of less help in figuring out what to do before you have to bring in the lawyers. I found it very helpfull to leave this book on the coffee table when my nosy landlord was snooping around my apartment. Apparently bad landlords don't like it when tenants know their rights.
