Filing A Complaint Is Your Legal Right As A Tenant

It? unlawful for your landlord to retaliate against you for filing a complaint with the Rental Protection Agency. Renter laws are designed to protect the renter from poor living conditions or unfair treatment. It is common for landlords to violate state and federal laws due to their lack of knowledge to such. Filing a complaint is your legal right; landlords are required to respect that.

RENTERS ARE PROTECTED AGAINST RETALIATION - Landlords cannot raise rent, limit usage, decrease utilities, postpone repairs, or treat a renter unfairly because they filed a complaint with the Rental Protection Agency. more...

What Happens When I File A Landlord Complaint?

The common goal of each complaint is to get some type of resolution. The agent assigned to your landlord complaint will investigate the case and mediate with your landlord to resolve the issue. Your landlord will have right to respond to the complaint and provide a timely resolution.

LANDLORD THREATS CAUSE FOR LEGAL PROBLEMS

The New York based landlord, Selvin Gabriel was accused of threatening his tenants with a gun in order to scare them into moving. The results of a police raid on his home found no gun or any record of a gun. "They (police) even searched through my childrens toy box," said Gabriel. The police found no such gun or record of a gun. It was suspected that the tenants had falsely made the allegation against their landlord in order to try to delay the eviction process. The owner of the property, Maria Fabozzi, spent every penny out of her savings to defend Gabriel. Finally after more than a dozen court attempts to clear his name, 10 months later Gabriel was cleared of the allegations; although he was still ordered to attend anger management courses. The tenants could face jail time for making the false allegations. It is assumed the District Attorneys office will not persue the tenants role in the crime.
