Surviving Debt: Introduction
This chapter provides advice on the best way to deal with problems you may face when renting a residence: (1) you want to move to less expensive housing, but the landlord wants you to pay for breaking the lease; (2) you want to stay in the residence, but your landlord is seeking to evict you; or (3) you are having trouble renting a new residence because of your credit or rental history. For more information on tenant rights concerning public housing and HUD subsidized housing, see the National Housing Law Project’s HUD Housing Programs: Tenants Rights.
