Know Your Rights As Tenant
Understanding Your Renters Rights
Renting a home can become stressful when you are unsure what your landlord is allowed to do or what you are entitled to expect from your tenancy. Your renters’ rights cover much more than simply having somewhere to live. They can affect how your rent is increased, how your deposit is handled, when your landlord can enter your home, who is responsible for repairs, how eviction works, and what happens when you ask to keep a pet.
Knowing your rights as a tenant can help you understand what the rules mean, what your landlord is responsible for, and what steps may be available to you when a problem arises. Renters Rights Act Services helps you find relevant tenant rights to your circumstances so you can make informed decisions about your tenancy.

Renters Rights Act: What Tenants Need to Know
The Renters Rights Act has brought significant changes to private renting in England, making it more important than ever for tenants to understand how the rules affect their tenancy.
The changes cover several important areas of renting, including rent increases, possession and eviction, tenancy protections, pets and other aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship.
Understanding the legislation is only the first step. What matters to you is how those rules apply to your own situation.
For example, you may want to know:
- Can my landlord increase my rent?
- What should I do if my landlord refuses to carry out repairs?
- What happens if I receive an eviction notice?
- Can my landlord refuse my request for a pet?
- Can my landlord enter my home without permission?
- What can I do if my deposit has not been returned?
- What protections do I have as a private tenant?
We break these issues down into practical, easier-to-understand guidance so you can identify the rules that are relevant to your circumstances.

Some Common Tenant Problems & The support we give you for each
Many tenant problems involve questions about their rights, landlord responsibilities or tenancy rules. Renters Rights Act Services helps you find information relevant to your situation.
📩
Eviction Notice
Section 21 is gone but Section 8 notices still happen, many contain errors that make them legally invalid. Don’t leave before you check.
💰
Deposit Not Returned
Unfair deductions are the most common dispute. Members typically recover £400–£2,000 in wrongful deductions using our toolkit.
📈
Rent Increase
From May 2026, increases are limited to once a year and challengeable free at the First Tier Tribunal. But only if you know how.
🔧
Repairs Not Done
Awaab’s Law sets 24-hour emergency timelines. A verbal complaint is worthless. A written, timestamped record is everything.
🚫
Discrimination
“No DSS” and “No Children” are criminal offences from May 2026. Most tenants don’t know — and do nothing about it.
🐕
Refusing Pets
Check whether your landlord can legally refuse a pet request under the Renters’ Rights Act rules, and get a structured response.
🔍
Situation Review
Tell us what happened and upload your documents. We’ll map your issue, flag key dates, identify the right templates, and outline your options — in plain English, not legal jargon.
📝
Form Filling & Letter Writing
Housing forms are confusing by design. We help you complete them correctly and write letters that landlords and tribunals take seriously — without paying solicitor rates.
🏛️
Going to Tribunal?
Your case has reached a hearing. Going alone is overwhelming. A Renter’s Friend sits beside you, keeps you organised, and makes sure nothing gets missed on the day.
TENANT GUIDANCE
What Can You Do When Your Landlord Doesn't Follow the Rules?
If you’re dealing with a tenant problem, landlord dispute or another issue with your tenancy, it can be difficult to know what to do next. Start by understanding what has happened, the tenant rights that may apply to your situation and the responsibilities your landlord may have.
Depending on the circumstances, you may need to check your tenancy agreement and other documents, keep records of what has happened, communicate with your landlord in writing or seek further tenant guidance. The right next step can depend on the details of your situation, so understanding the relevant tenancy rules before taking action can help you make a more informed decision.
