Your rights depend on where you live in the UK, your tenancy agreement and the reason your landlord gives. You should normally receive proper notice, and your landlord must follow the relevant legal process rather than forcing you out, changing the locks or harassing you. Rules on rent increases, deposits, repairs, safety and eviction differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so check the guidance on GOV.UK or your nation’s housing service. If you receive eviction papers or believe your landlord is acting unlawfully, contact a housing charity, your local council or a solicitor regulated by the SRA.
