Common questions
Can a landlord evict without a ruling?
Normally eviction requires a ruling or a decision from the competent body; self-help exposes the landlord to liability.
Are rent increases capped?
Many systems cap increases by percentage, period or notice; the rule varies by country and sometimes by city.
Will the assistant review my lease?
Yes, upload it to see non-compliant or one-sided clauses.
