The Tenant Project
Renting Is Broken.
We Need To Fix It.
The Tenant Project is collecting real tenant experiences to drive change.
1. The Reality
Tenants face unlawful conditions every day.
From rogue landlords ignoring repairs to agents withholding basic legal documents, private renters are too often left to live in unsafe or unfair situations.
We’re hearing from tenants across England and Wales who feel powerless – even when their rights are being violated.

2. The Gap
The problem isn’t a lack of housing laws – it’s a lack of consequences.
From missing gas safety checks to illegal evictions and harassment, rogue landlords and agents break the law every day with little to no penalty. And with limited enforcement, most breaches go unpunished.
Only deposit protection laws offer a clear route to compensation – almost everything else relies on overstretched councils or the courts.

3. The Goal
We’re turning tenant experiences into action.
The Tenant Project is collecting real data to expose the most common legal failures in the rental sector – and to push for enforcement that actually works.
Our mission is simple: make the law matter. With your voice, we can make it happen.

Share Your Experience
Your experience matters – even if you never report it.
Whether your landlord ignored a repair, made unfair deductions against your deposit, unlawfully entered your home, or simply made you feel unsafe, your voice can help expose patterns of abuse in private renting.
The survey is 100% anonymous, takes just a few minutes, and helps us fight for real enforcement – not just empty rules.

The Project
We’re building a national picture of what’s really happening in private renting.
The Tenant Project is gathering anonymous experiences from renters across England and Wales to highlight the most common breaches of housing law.
Our goal is simple: to show just how often the law is broken – and how rarely anyone is held accountable. By turning this data into a public report, local dashboards, and direct appeals to MPs, we aim to push councils, regulators, and the government to act.

WHY IS THE LAW BROKEN?
Rogue landlords are breaking the law every day – often without consequence.
From illegal eviction techniques to safety checks, the rules are there, but enforcement is weak or non-existent.
Learn which housing laws are most often ignored, and why we’re campaigning to make them matter.
