At times, tenant-landlord relationships get to the point where the tenant feels as if the landlord is trying to force him/her out of the rental. We should back up for a moment and say that you should always try to keep the lines of communication open with your landlord. Once you have enough documentation, you can contact an attorney and see whether you have a case to take to court. After all, if you lose the court case, you do not want to get stuck paying your legal bills as well as your landlord's.
