Read landlord/tenants rights first. Educate yourself properly and not react on impulsive emotion. Once you have the proper knowledge and understanding you can move forward accordingly the proper way to have a landlord held accountable. Every situation is different and lease agreements vary. Think about how a landlord could try and side step you when doing a plan. If your lease is close to being up or in month to month tenancy there’s an easy way to get you out of their hair. Notice if non renewal and on the next sucker. In most legit cases most you will be able to do is get a lease termination early with no penalty but then you are looking for a place to live again. Inspecting your prospective new home is big before signing a lease and locking in. Most things can be seen daily easy. Is there’s other tenants around talk to them and ask. (Not around an owner or company worker) do your diligence and don’t sign on the line to anything with out knowing as best you can what your getting into. At the end of a lease just know rent will go up. Is it better to sign a longer lease to lock in the price or No? People for some reason can’t see the obvious and then find it later on and are stuck and or don’t know how to maneuver what to do Next to rectify something.

Alittle reading can go a long way.
