Advice for private tenants
To help tenants understand their rights and responsibilities when renting in the private sector GOV.uk has produced some helpful guidance on how to rent.
It explains the questions that tenants should ask when thinking about renting a property, and the steps that they should take if things go wrong whilst living there. Your landlord must provide you with this guide at the start of the tenancy.
