•live in a property that’s safe and in a good state of repair
•have your deposit returned when the tenancy ends - and in some circumstances have your deposit protected
•challenge excessively high charges
•know who your landlord is
•live in the property undisturbed
You should give your landlord access to the property to inspect it or carry out repairs. Your landlord has to give you at least 24 hours’ notice and visit at a reasonable time of day, unless it’s an emergency and they need immediate access.
You must also:
•take good care of the property, for example turn off the water at the mains if you’re away in cold weather
•pay the agreed rent, even if repairs are needed or you’re in dispute with your landlord
•pay other charges as agreed with the landlord, for example Council Tax or utility bills
•repair or pay for any damage caused by you, your family or friends
