Your rights depend on where you live in the UK, your tenancy type and your agreement, but generally include a safe, properly maintained home, privacy, protection from discrimination and rules about deposits, rent increases and eviction. Your landlord usually must follow the correct legal process before asking you to leave and cannot simply remove you or change the locks. Check your written agreement and the relevant guidance on GOV.UK, mygov.scot, nidirect.gov.uk or gov.wales, depending on your location. Citizens Advice or a solicitor regulated by the SRA can explain how the rules apply to your circumstances.
