Landlord And Tenant Rights

Arkansas law provides rights to both residential tenants and landlords. Arkansas laws on such issues apply only to private rental units and not government-subsidized housing.

Tenant rights and obligations:

Landlords must provide notice of at least one rental period before raising the rent. This rule applies to both oral and written leases.

If you plan to sublease your apartment or house, you typically must obtain prior approval from the landlord, and obtain written direction from him or her stating the amount of rent that can be collected.
