ANSWER :
Jenerally, the relationship between landlord and tenant starts with a lease or contract. Based on the lease agreement both parties do their duties and commitment to contract. Here landlord and tenant relationship, agreement, duties and responsibilities decided based on traditional property laws and landlord-tenant laws.
