"Renters have the right to a safe, fair, and worry-free environment."
|
| What are my Renters Rights? |
|
As a renter you have many rights, in fact contrary to common belief, renters typically have more rights than landlords. You have the right to a safe, and worry-free environment. The Rental Protection Agency helps protect renters from problems dealing within the rental industry. The RPA is the national agency responsible for investigating all types of landlord disputes, regardless of their severity. Once you file a complaint through our landlord dispute online resolution center, an investigating agent will be assigned to your case and will work with both parties to mediate a fair resolution. Depending on the severity of your Apartment Complaint / or Landlord Complaint, the RPA may work with local authorities to enforce your renting rights. Most cases are resolved without force.
|
| How to Resolve Rent Problems? |
| Tenants have only a couple of options to resolve problems while renting. The obvious solution is to work it out with apartment manager/ landlord yourself, however, if you're here most likely you've tried to deal with the landlord problem yourself and haven't been able to reach an agreement. Living with the an unresolved renting problem should never be an option, so that leaves you a couple of choices. You can hire an attorney and take the landlord to court. (should only be considered as a last resort) Or file a landlord complaint with the Rental Protection Agency. Filing a complaint with the RPA should be your first defense to protect your rights. Not only does the RPA not charge for mediation, but a trained agent and rental mediator will deal with the problem for you. Unlike court cases that require landlords/ renters to prove their innocence, RPA Mediation focuses on finding a fair resolution to landlord complaints. |
|
What Happens After I File a Landlord Complaint?
|
| Once you process your landlord complaint it will be assigned to an RPA Investigating Agent. For urgent problems you can choose to have your case rushed, most cases are assigned within 2 business days. The Investigating Agent will then review your case and start the mediation process. The landlord dispute online resolution center allows you or your landlord to respond to the case 24 hrs a day. A typical landlord problem will be resolved within a few days. After a fair resolution is reached the investigating agent will close the case and post it to the landlord public history report. Cases can only be removed from their public record through your written permission. |
| Public Record - Landlord History Report |
| All landlord complaints are documented and recorded as public record on their Landlord history report. Depending on how your landlord responds to the complaint, it can have an impact on their reputation, and possibly deter other renters from renting from them. For this reason most landlords/ apartment managers are motivated to resolve complaints quickly and fairly. Landlord complaints are recorded on a permanent record and have a big impact on the landlord risk score. Complaints that are promptly resolved will actually have a positive impact on the landlord risk score. Unresolved cases may actually prevent your landlord from becoming approved. |
|
Is My Landlord Breaking the Law?
|
|
Landlords and property managers of both large and small scale rental properties have been found guilty of violating rent laws. Some apartment managers may neglect rent laws because they think they are not important, or simply because they are not aware of them. Landlords that are in violation of rent laws are permitted to remedy the violation before it is escalated to the appropriate authorities. Landlords quilty of breaking the law may be imposed fines and banned from the RPA. In extreme cases the RPA may immediately involve local authorities without allowing the landlord to redeem the problem first.
|
|
Housing Authorities?
|
| In your city you will find a local housing authority. Please note that local housing authorities do not handle landlord/ tenant problems. Although the name may sound deceptive, housing authorities are actually government welfare programs. Your local housing authority provides struggling families with financial help, they cannot provide help with landlord tenant problems. |
