tenancy rights
Lessee legal entitlements
Tenancy rights are the legal protections and entitlements that renters have under the law when occupying property owned by someone else.
These typically include the right to habitable premises, privacy, proper notice before eviction, and return of security deposits under specified conditions.
The specific rights vary by jurisdiction but generally aim to balance landlord interests against tenant welfare.
