Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Get Portman's Renters Rights: The Basics... and research quirks in rental law specific to the state where your teen will be going to college." Houston Chronicle
"If landlords nationwide were to recommend [this] book to renters, I'd bet only half of today's landlord/tenant problems would exist in the future." Orlando Sentinel
"In this book of accessible advice for renters, chapters are organized chronologically, from finding and applying for an apartment, through leases and rental agreements, security deposits, repairs and maintenance, ending your tenancy, and getting the deposit back. Other chapters are devoted to discrimination, roommates, tenants' rights to privacy, landlord retaliation, and negotiating a settlement. In addition to an entire chapter on rent control, the rent control perspective is integrated into every chapter. Appendices give links for finding landlord-tenant laws online, plus many detailed charts comparing state laws related to aspects of renting, such as deposit rules and domestic violence situations. The reader-friendly layout includes many subheads, summary boxes, bullet points, web links, suggested books, and chapter ending key points." Eithne O'Leyne, Editor Ringgold, Inc. ProtoView
