Fair Housing Law
Fighting for Safe, Dignified Housing—For Everyone
At RM Lawyers, we stand with tenants. Our Fair Housing Law practice is deeply committed to holding landlords accountable when they fail to provide safe, habitable housing. We represent individuals and groups of tenants in complex litigation, including slumlord cases, habitability violations, and housing discrimination class actions.
Every person has the right to live in a home that is free from discrimination, serious health hazards, and neglect. When landlords systematically ignore that right, we take action.
What Is Fair Housing Law?
Fair Housing Law includes federal, state, and local protections against housing discrimination. But our practice goes further—taking on cases where landlords and property managers exploit vulnerable tenants by ignoring basic maintenance, refusing essential repairs, or allowing dangerous and unsanitary conditions to persist.
We handle cases involving:
- Unsafe or unsanitary living conditions
- Mold, lead paint, rodent infestations, and code violations
- Failure to make necessary repairs
- Harassment or retaliation for reporting issues
- Discriminatory rental practices or evictions
- Refusal to accommodate tenants with disabilities
- Targeting tenants based on race, income, immigration status, or family structure
Taking on Slumlords Through Class Action Lawsuits
RM Lawyers has experience organizing and leading tenant class actions against landlords who engage in systemic neglect. These cases often involve multiple tenants living in the same building or complex who suffer from:
- Widespread code violations
- Chronic disrepair and unsafe conditions
- Illegal rent increases or fees
- Harassment and intimidation tactics
- Discriminatory or retaliatory eviction attempts
Class actions are a powerful tool that allow tenants to pool their voices and fight back—together. We investigate these patterns of abuse, build strong legal strategies, and fight aggressively in court to demand change, monetary compensation, and improved living conditions.
