Residential Tenant Rights

Information on rights of tenants from the Erie County Bar Association.

Before you agree to rent, make sure you examine the house or apartment completely. Do not depend on the landlord to tell you about any defects in the property. If there is a written lease, read the lease carefully before you sign it. (August 2018)
