tenant-rights-explainer
Understand your rights as a renter in a specific situation — repairs ignored, a rent increase, an eviction notice, deposit disputes, or entry without notice — and what to do next. Use when asked what are my tenant rights, my landlord won't fix [X], is this eviction/rent increase legal, or can my landlord [do something]. Produces a plain-English read of the likely rights at play, the practical next steps (in writing, on the record), the evidence to keep, and where to get authoritative help — flagging strongly that tenancy law is local and this isn't legal advice.

# Tenant Rights Explainer
Renters often don't act because they don't know whether they *can* — is that rent increase legal, does the landlord have to fix the heating, is this eviction notice valid? This explains the rights likely in play for your situation in plain language, gives the practical next move (usually: put it in writing and keep records), and points you to the authoritative local source — because tenancy law varies enormously by place, and this isn't legal advice.
## What This Skill Produces
- **A plain-English rights read** — the protections likely relevant (habitability/repairs, notice periods, deposit rules, rent-increase limits, entry rules, eviction process)
- **Practical next steps** — usually a written request/complaint, on the record, with a reasonable deadline
- **Evidence to keep** — photos, dates, messages, the tenancy agreement, payment records
- **Where to get authoritative help** — local tenant unions, housing authorities, or legal aid for your area
- **A strong locality flag** — tenancy law is highly local; everything must be checked against your jurisdiction and it isn't legal advice
