Landlord Bullying Legal Rights

Summary

Arkansas landlord-tenant laws protect tenants from retaliatory behavior and require landlords to maintain habitable conditions. Verbal agreements can be enforceable but are harder to prove. Legal Aid organizations in Arkansas offer free or low-cost legal services for those who cannot afford a lawyer. Sharing information via email or text can help tenants understand their rights and take appropriate action.
