Renters’ Legal Rights
June 22nd, 2009
Many homeowners who find themselves with upside down mortgages decide to downsize. They have learned their lessons and they are trying to sell their homes - the homes that have been devalued and are now not worth as much as their mortgage balances. Some homeowners decide to sell the homes anyway and move to smaller and more manageable homes. Others decide to rent for a while until they can figure out what to do next to get out of the mess they are in. If you have decided to rent, instead of own for a while, then this book called Renters' Rights: The Basics will help you understand renters' legal rights when renting a property.
Book Review

"This lively, practical and occasionally humorous new book... is another in the Nolo series that makes learning about legal topics interesting and almost fun." (San Jose Mercury News )
"Well written, well researched and practical describe this thorough rental-law guide book. On my scale of one to 10, this outstanding book rates an off-the-chart 12." (Robert Bruss, nationally syndicated columnist 20080201)
