What did people report?
STLCA's accepted word groups separate reported physical housing conditions from notices, fees and tenancy paperwork. A keyword match is a reported topic, not a confirmed code violation.
Paperwork and tenancy topics
Notices, evictions and termination, deposits, rent increases and fees, lease terms and renewals, just-cause concerns, and related matters.
Topic counts are not mutually exclusive.
Keyword mentions by Council district
Rate per 1,000 landlord-tenant complaint records in each district. Raw mention count shown beneath. Groups can overlap; these are descriptions, not verified violations.
