Rent Reduction Due to Maintenance Issues

Mold, leaks or broken heating? You may be entitled to a rent reduction.

How does this work?

Landlords are required to maintain rental properties properly. Issues like leaks, mold, broken heating, or severe drafts must be fixed. If a landlord fails to act, tenants may be entitled to a temporary rent reduction until the issues are resolved. Frently helps document these problems and supports you through communication and legal procedures. This ensures you are not left dealing with poor living conditions alone.
