tenant protections
Lessee legal rights
Tenant protections are laws and policies that safeguard renters from unfair treatment by landlords.
These typically include limits on rent increases, requirements for just cause before eviction, security deposit caps, and rights to habitable living conditions.
The term appears frequently in housing policy debates: The city council voted to strengthen tenant protections.
Advocates argue they prevent displacement; critics contend they discourage housing investment.
