Examples of Landlord Retaliation The kinds of retaliatory acts covered by most state statutes include the following: Increasing the rent. Decreasing services or not performing necessary repairs in the rental unit. Claiming there was no security deposit or not returning a security deposit.
Note that even if the landlord proves that he or she has a valid reason for the eviction, the tenant can prove retaliation by showing that the landlords effort to evict the tenant is not in good faith and is primarily based on a goal of punishing the tenant for exercising said rights.
When disputing an eviction, tenants should write a clear letter explaining their situation, including timely rent payments and efforts to address property issues. The letter should be polite, factual, and include any supporting details like family assistance or plans to complete repairs.
First, and foremost, if a tenant threatens you or someone on your staff, you are not required to just accept that sort of treatment. You may take aggressive legal action to remove such a tenant from your property.
