Landlord-tenant disputes can arise in various contexts, often stemming from misunderstandings, violations of lease agreements, or differing interpretations of applicable laws. These disputes typically fall into the following categories: non-payment of rent, security deposit disputes, habitability and maintenance issues, lease agreement violations, eviction and unlawful detainer actions, retaliation and harassment, property damage and liability, access and privacy violations, rent increase and lease renewal, discrimination and fair housing violations, subleasing and assignment duties, and disputes over utilities and shared expenses.
