The relationship between landlord and tenant is often bound to reach conflict, whether big or small, at some point during the course of a lease. As a result, tenant landlord statutes are available in every state. Tenants involved in a lease can take console in this large number of tenants rights that protect them throughout the lease. While dealing with landlords can sometimes be difficult, the legal protection that exists can prove to be quite beneficial in solving disputes. Before even entering a lease, tenants have the right to make use of their rights when applying for a lease. During tenant application and screening, tenants cannot be discriminated against for any reason, including race, color, sex, or religion. As the lease progresses, tenants are eligible for receiving other tenant's rights of safe premises, fair security deposits, privacy, and protection from eviction. This range of rights protects the tenants in aspects of legal, financial, and even personal interests.
