tenant-rights
Lessee legal protections
Tenant-rights refers to the legal protections and entitlements afforded to renters, covering matters like security deposits, eviction procedures, habitability standards, and privacy.
Often appears as a modifier: tenant-rights organizations, tenant-rights legislation.
The movement for stronger tenant-rights has grown alongside rising housing costs and landlord-tenant disputes.
