Can my landlord evict me for complaining about mold?

Short answer

Many states don’t allow landlords to punish tenants for asking for repairs. Make requests in writing and keep copies. Local tenant groups or legal aid can help.

Rules differ by state. This is general information, not legal or professional advice.
