What are my rights?

Question

What are my rights?

Accepted Answer

The law protects tenants by giving them certain rights (even if you haven’t signed a tenancy agreement or your written tenancy agreement tries to take away those rights). Here’s a summary of your key rights as a tenant:
• The landlord must keep the property and the things they leave in it (like stoves) in a good state of repair and comply with all building, health and safety laws.
• You have the right to ‘quiet enjoyment’ (peace, comfort and privacy).
• The landlord must give you notice before inspections.
• They can only end your tenancy in limited situations, and must give you notice of this.
• They must treat you fairly, without discrimination.
• They must give you a copy of your tenancy agreement and it must include certain things.
