Rent Control
A few American cities have rent control. The rent for your apartment may be legally set. If you think the landlord is cheating you, or is not providing proper services like heat, security and repairs, you'll find the telephone numbers of agencies you can complain to in the government pages of your local telephone book. It is perhaps unfair, but tenants have many more remedies against a bad landlord than a landlord has against a bad tenant.
