​

All tenants have their rights regardless of immigration status. To be evicted from your home, the owner cannot just call the police or threaten you. He has to go through an eviction process in court. Understand your rights and protect yourself from landlords who charge illegal fees, who don't fix what's broken, and who threaten eviction.
