1. Landlord-Tenant Laws: These laws define the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. This includes lease agreements, tenant screening, eviction processes, rent collection, and handling security deposits.
2. Safety and Building Codes: Properties must comply with local building codes and safety regulations. This includes fire safety, electrical safety, and general building standards.
3. Fair Housing and Anti-Discrimination Laws: Understanding and adhering to fair housing laws is crucial. These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, colour, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or family status.
