The landlord is the owner of a rental property
and the tenant is the renter of the property.
The landlord and tenant usually execute a lease
agreement stipulating the responsibilities of each
party and the term.
The laws regulating what can be put into a lease
agreement and defining the basic responsibilities of
each party including how evictions are handled vary
from State to State.
The landlord is required to provide possession of
the property to the tenant and generally disclose
known defects, maintain common areas, repair hazardous
conditions and maintain the property in a habitable
condition.
The tenant is required to pay the rent, keep the
property in an undamaged condition and abide by other
terms of the lease such as parking restrictions and
the acceptable use of the property.
Should the landlord fail to make repairs to
maintain the property in habitable condition, some
States allow the tenant to withhold rent, sue the
landlord or even break the lease agreement. In
some States with rent controls, the landlord may be
restricted as to how much the rent can be increased
over time.
