 3. Learn your state’s landlord tenant law

Don’t expect to win unless you learn the law. Read the actual law that pertains to you in the state you live, as well as the interpretation of the law, which can often be found on various Web sites when you do your Google search. Not only is this a good civics lesson for you, but you need to be able to explain to a judge (in small claims court), or to your attorney (in superior court), how your landlord violated your rights as a tenant. Not all attorneys are well versed in landlord tenant law. If you educate yourself first, then you can be sure that the attorney will be educated, too. Also, study how I displayed the landlord tenant law in our presentation folder (see Part III). It’ll probably give you a lot of ideas that you can use in your case.
