Official Tenant Guides For Every US State
Abraham ElmahrekResources from non-profits, a state's attorney general or consumer protection division, etc.
Some states are missing. Unfortunately, for those states we weren't able to find any resources.
If you're aware of resources that aren't listed, update them here: https://github.com/padfever/awesome-renting. We'll periodically update this blog post to reflect what's in that Github repository.
