Tenants only want to follow the rules and protect our rights under the law.
But what if you are busy working multiple jobs just to pay the rent and put food on the table for your children?
Meanwhile, you landlord is trying to do something you think is wrong but how can you fight back?
There is now a terrific way for Tenants learn more about our rights!
