How to deal with harassment from landlords or agents

Letter templates: Tenant rights

Set out your rights in an email or message to your landlord or agent.

It can be a good step if your landlord or letting agent:

  • does not know the law

  • thinks you do not know your rights

It might make it easier to talk about problems like any rent you owe or your landlord’s visits.

Choose a template for your email or message.

What do you want to tell your landlord or letting agent?
