Tenant Rights
Tenant Rights
What landlords can and can't do.
Tenant rights: repairs, entry and harassment
Landlord repair obligations, the 24-hour notice rule for entry, and where to get help when things go wrong.
Eviction: notices and your protections
How much notice a landlord must give, what makes an eviction illegal, and exactly what to do if you receive a notice.
When and how rent can go up
Rent can't just rise on a whim — fixed terms lock the price unless the contract says otherwise, and unfair increases can be challenged at a tribunal.
Shared houses: licences and safety duties
Landlords of shared houses carry extra legal duties — licences, fire safety, gas checks — and failing them has real penalties you can benefit from.
