Some tenant-landlord issues are easily resolved by learning the right steps to take when a problem arises. Documenting maintenance issues with pictures and video can go a long way. Depending on the situation, it is also important to follow up any verbal, text message, or email notifications to your landlord with a letter in certified mail. Not sure where to start?
