Landlords have a responsibility to provide habitable housing, maintain the property in good repair, and comply with all applicable building codes and safety regulations.<\/p>\n
Tenants, in turn, are responsible for paying rent on time, keeping the premises clean and undamaged, and complying with the terms of their lease agreement.<\/p>\n

The eviction process varies depending on the state or municipality in which the property is located. However, in general, landlords must first provide tenants with a written notice of eviction, which states the reason for the eviction and the date by which the tenant must vacate the premises.<\/p>\n
If the tenant does not comply with the notice, the landlord may file an eviction lawsuit with the court.<\/p>\n
