Your Next Step:

Your renter can move out and you should get the issue fixed!

Your renter can end their lease early and move out if they choose to. They can move out 14 days from their last letter telling you about the issue. Keep in mind you'll need to fix the issue before renting out the unit again.

How to communicate with your renter

Whether the renter is complaining about an issue or taking action, it’s important that you do NOT retaliate. Stay calm and work with your renter to fix the issue as soon as possible. Examples of retaliation include:

  • Increasing rent
  • Decreasing services (like water or heating)
  • Eviction or threatening to remove the renter

It’s important to remember that you cannot remove a renter or their belongings from the unit without going through the proper court procedure.
