Summary

You probably need to read this booklet if you are renting, or thinking of renting, a domestic property and the letting began on or after 15 January 1989. However, if you are sharing or are going to share part of the landlord's home, you should read our separate booklet called Renting Rooms in Someone's Home - a guide for people renting from resident landlords.

This booklet does not deal with agricultural lettings, or lettings by housing associations, local authorities or other social landlords.

This booklet explain the most important features of tenants' and landlords' rights and responsibilities but it is only a general guide.
