This book will help tenants take action in court against such slumlords, and fight for what is right and fair, i.e., decent housing. You pay your rent and in exchange the landlord agreed when they signed the lease to provide you with a decent livable residency without interference.
You may not be able to do anything about the amount of rent you pay, but you can do something about the conditions of your apartment or house. You could even have your landlord removed from active management of his or her own building and the tenants could take over the management of the building you live in and purchase the building as a tenant owned, low income co-op. This book will show you how.
What are your rights as a Tenant? You may not think you have any rights but you do. For example you have a right to not be harassed by your landlord. You have a right to privacy. You have a right to live in an apartment or house that is free from dangerous conditions to your life, health and/or safety.
Tenants should not become afraid to speak up or take action when their place of residence becomes threatened. Instead if you live in a building that falls under the jurisdiction of Rent Control and/or Rent Stabilization laws then you are protected.
Sometimes conditions are so bad in your building that you know if you call the health department they are going to make you move and you have nowhere to go. That's another reason why Tenants don't say anything. But there's no need to fear because there is help.
