Retirees generally have the same core renting rights as other tenants, including protection from unlawful eviction, proper notice and a safe, well-maintained home. Age is a protected characteristic, so a landlord or letting agent must not unlawfully discriminate against you because you are older, although housing rules differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your rights depend on your tenancy type, and eviction procedures and notice periods can change, so check the relevant official guidance on GOV.UK or your nation’s housing website. If you face discrimination or an eviction dispute, consider contacting Citizens Advice or a solicitor regulated by the SRA.
