Unlawful Landlord? What Can Tenants Do To Protect Themselves

Renting can be difficult and having an landlord who is unjust towards you can significantly affect you. In this inaugural episode of the Granite Justice podcast, Shane Cooper, an Associate Dean at UNH Franklin Pierce talks with Steve McGilvary, a paralegal at 603 Legal Aid to talk about the 540-A petition which is used to provide protection for tenants against unjust actions from landlords. They go over how to begin the petition, what are some major aspects to keep an eye out for, and what repercussions can come from this petition.
