If I need to call a public safety agency for help, can I get in trouble with my landlord?

Your landlord is not allowed to tell you that you can’t call the police or another “public safety agency” for help, or limit the number of times you can call. Your landlord also can’t punish you or evict you just because you made reasonable requests for help.1

Note: A “public safety agency” is a governmental agency that provides fire protection, law enforcement, or medical services.2
