Under the new laws, renters have important rights that can help protect from eviction because of nonpayment of rent, fees, or other money owed to a landlord. These new rights include: Termination notices for nonpayment of rent must give at least 10 days for renters to pay the late rent and stay in their homes.

? DO NOT, under any circumstances, withhold any portion of the rent unless you have made a request for repairs in writing. If you withhold rent without making a written request first, you could lose your housing.

The rental property must be safe and sanitary and be maintained throughout the rental period. If repairs are necessary for safety or sanitation, the landlord must make such repairs without cost to the tenant. The condition for repair cannot be from tenant neglect or a deliberate act.

This information must be given to the tenant every time there is a change in rental status, such as a rent increase or new lease.
