What actions are illegal for the landlord?

In the rental market, the relationship between tenants and landlords is not always equal. Some landlords may take advantage of their dominant position and take some unreasonable actions to treat tenants. These unreasonable behaviors may include unreasonable price increases, unreasonable charges, and failure to provide basic services. If this happens, how should tenants respond? This article will summarize from the following aspects.

1. Unreasonable fare increase

Some landlords may suddenly raise the rent after signing the contract, or raise the rent for no reason during the lease period. In addition, some landlords may charge extra fees to tenants for various reasons, such as property management fees, residence certificate fees, utilities and so on. These behaviors are unreasonable and violate the consumer protection law. When the landlord is found to have such fraudulent behavior, the tenant can safeguard his rights and interests through discussion and consultation or seeking legal channels.

2. Not providing basic services

In the rental market, landlords need to provide certain basic services for tenants, such as the repair and maintenance of public facilities such as water, electricity and gas. If the landlord fails to fulfill these responsibilities, it will bring inconvenience and trouble to the tenant. In this case, the tenant can make a request to the landlord and record the corresponding maintenance process and results. If the landlord has not solved the problem, the tenant can also defend his rights through legal channels.

Feel free to enter the room

Some landlords may enter the tenant's room at will, or enter the residence without permission when the tenant is not at home. This behavior not only violates the privacy of tenants, but also may cause security risks. Tenants can negotiate with the landlord to work out a reasonable way to enter and sign relevant contract terms. If the landlord always ignores the tenant's request, then the tenant can report the case to the local public security organ to safeguard his rights and interests.

4. Unauthorized seizure of money

Some landlords will deduct the tenant's deposit at the end of the lease without authorization, and the reason for deduction may be very far-fetched. In addition, some landlords may deliberately delay the refund of the deposit, making tenants feel dissatisfied and anxious. In this case, the tenant can ask the landlord to give a clear reason for the deduction, and operate in the way and time agreed in the contract when returning the deposit. If the landlord does not refund the deposit, the tenant can safeguard his rights and interests through legal channels.

In short, in the rental market, tenants should be vigilant and have enough understanding and coping strategies for the unreasonable behavior of landlords. When encountering problems, tenants can defend their rights through negotiation and legal channels. At the same time, tenants should also strengthen their legal knowledge and awareness of prevention to avoid unnecessary losses and injuries in rental transactions.
