Being a landlord can be tough. Not only do you have to deal with the occasional crazy tenant or the looming possibility of a sudden flood in one of your properties, you also need to comply with all the landlordtenant laws. 

In 1968, the US government passed the Fair Housing Act to protect renters from landlord discrimination. Since then, many state governments have added extra laws to protect their residents. As a landlord, you need to learn the laws for your state so you can protect yourself from fair housing lawsuits.
