Frequently Asked Questions

Can a landlord change lease terms mid-lease?

Generally no. A lease is a binding contract, and the landlord cannot unilaterally change its terms during the lease period. Changes require agreement from both parties. However, some leases include clauses allowing certain adjustments — always review your specific lease language.

What can I do if my landlord won't make repairs?

State law generally requires landlords to make diligent efforts to repair conditions that affect your health or safety after you give written notice. If they don't, you may have remedies including repair-and-deduct, rent reduction, or lease termination. Document everything in writing.
