Provided By:

Most states protect illegal for landlords to retaliate against a tenant who has exercised a legal right. Protected legal rights include:

complaints to government authorities or to the landlord about health or safety problems
complaints to government agencies or lawsuits alleging illegal housing discrimination, and
political activity, including sponsorship of legislation or candidates, and participating in a tenants' union or organization.

The chart below lists those states that provide anti-retaliation protection for their tenants (a few cities, notably those with rent control, also provide protections).

For details on these states' laws, and how tenants can recoup fees, costs, and stop rent hikes, see Every Landlord's Legal Guide, by Marcia Stewart, Ralph Warner, and Janet Portman (Nolo).

AP biology exams, usually taken by 1st year biology majors, are designed to be the equivalent of earning a college introductory biology course but without the same time commitment as an entire semester of course work. Passing the exam allows college freshman AP biology students to then take upper-level courses in biology or to register for courses that normally require biology as a prerequisite. Other students may have fulfilled a basic requirement for a laboratory science course and will be able to undertake other courses to pursue their majors.
