At DAG Law Firm, APC, we boast extensive experience in advocating for tenants’ rights, providing expert guidance, counseling, and securing financial compensation for our clients. With our seasoned team of legal professionals dedicated to protecting your rights as a tenant, you can trust us to fight relentlessly on your behalf.
Recognizing the Tactics of Slumlords
Slumlords employ various tactics to exploit and neglect their tenants, often resulting in dire living conditions and rampant violations of tenant rights. Some common tactics employed by slumlords include:
Failure to maintain or repair essential amenities such as plumbing, heating, or electrical systems
Ignoring health and safety hazards, such as mold, pests, or structural deficiencies
Retaliation against tenants who assert their rights or request necessary repairs
Illegally withholding security deposits or charging unreasonable fees
Violating local housing codes and regulations with impunity
Intimidating and harassing tenants in an effort to force them out of their homes
These actions create an environment of fear and insecurity for tenants, making it crucial to seek legal support to protect your rights and hold slumlords accountable.
Your Rights as a Tenant

The right to request and obtain necessary repairs to maintain habitability
