Start your search early

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Your rights as a tenant

Landlords must provide a dispute resolution process. If you have a problem with your accommodation or landlord, contact SEWS in the first instance. If legal advice is necessary, SEWS may refer you to the Bloomsbury Law Clinic. Speak to SEWS if you are in a household where these laws are breached or if you feel unsafe in your home.

Your accommodation must be in good condition and meet a set of minimum standards. This includes cleanliness and safety.

Your landlord is not allowed to enter your rented accommodation without your permission.

Written records of your tenancy should be kept. You must have a rent book, contract or lease with your landlord.

Rent can only increase every two years, and you must be given 90 days' notice in writing. Any increase must be at current market rates, and your landlord must provide three examples of properties in the area with similar price increases.

Unless you caused the damage, your landlord must pay for repairs.

You must give at least 30 days' verbal notice, along with written notice, before moving out. If you do not do this, or if you leave less than 6 months after your lease began, your landlord is allowed to keep your deposit.
