text: does anybody know anything about rentel rights? is there someone that i can contact regarding legal questions  thank you. yeah, they call them lawyers or attorneys.  you can find a bunch in your neighborhood by looking in the phone book and most will meet with you once for free.  as to rental rights, many cities have a local tenant rights council that can answer your questions, often for free and some even provide legal representation for low income tenants with real problems.  good luck.
