Hmmm, that begs the question, "How do tenants respect landowner rights?"

In some states, the tenant can have more rights than the landlord, so it's important to know the landlord/tenant laws of your state.

That's a pretty generic question. I guess the best answer I can give is to abide by the law and treat the tenant the way they would want to be treated.
