Housing Habitability Services - Protecting Your Right to Safe and Livable Housing

At Burger Law, we understand that every tenant has the right to live in a safe, healthy, and habitable environment. When landlords fail to maintain a rental property in a condition that meets basic health and safety standards, tenants can suffer from hazardous conditions that affect their health, safety, and quality of life. If you're dealing with issues such as mold, lack of heat or water, unsafe structural conditions, or other dangerous living conditions, Burger Law is here to help you fight for your rights and hold negligent landlords accountable.
