Challenging a landlord for a 'constructive eviction'

Definition

This might involve shutting off heat or water, changing the locks, harassing tenants, failing to make repairs, or other harmful actions. The category covers what a tenant must gather and prove to be able to make a 'constructive eviction' claim, what kinds of landlord behavior amounts to a constructive eviction, and what options and outcomes might result.
