How to find your landlord

As a tenant you have the right to know the name and address of your landlord.

Ask the letting agent

If you pay your rent to a letting agent, they must give you the landlord's name and address if you write to ask for it.

Keep a copy of your letter, and if you don't deliver it by hand get proof of delivery.

The agent has 21 days to write you with the information. If they do not reply within this time, they are committing a criminal offence and could be fined up to £2,500.
