If you rent your home or are a leaseholder, you have a legal agreement with the landlord or freeholder. This gives you rights and responsibilities.
Check any agreement you have carefully and ask questions about anything you're not sure of. But bear in mind that you may have more rights than you think - there are laws to regulate how renting and leasing work. If your agreement doesn't comply, it may not be legally binding. This could make a big difference if the landlord or freeholder is being unreasonable, or wants you to leave.
You also need to remember that the rights you have will depend on the type of tenancy you have. You can check this using our online tool.
