Renters' Rights Act
Help Improve Renting
1. The Reality
Most tenants don’t realise when the law is on their side.
From unlawful fees and missing safety documents to ignored repairs and illegal evictions, housing laws are broken every day across the private rental sector.
The problem is many renters either don’t know their rights – or don’t know what action they can actually take when landlords cross the line.
2. Leverage
Bad landlords rely on tenants staying uninformed.
Some breaches carry real financial and legal consequences for landlords and agents – but most renters never discover them until it’s too late.
The Tenant Project helps tenants understand their rights, spot potential legal breaches, and learn what evidence, documents and actions actually matter.
3. The Goal
Give tenants the knowledge to push back properly.
We’re building a straight-talking tenant resource packed with practical guidance, legal explainers, tools and actionable help for renters across England and Wales.
No legal jargon. No scare tactics. Just clear information tenants can actually use.
The Mission
Most tenants are expected to navigate housing law without understanding the rules.
The rental sector is full of legal grey areas, misleading advice, and landlords or agents who rely on tenants not knowing their rights.
The Tenant Project exists to change that.
We break down complex housing issues into practical guidance tenants can actually understand and use – whether that’s dealing with repairs, deposits, evictions, rent increases, harassment or unsafe housing conditions.
Our goal is simple: give renters the knowledge, tools and confidence to push back when something isn’t right. Knowledge is power!
Stay Informed
Straight-talking tenant advice, legal updates and practical tools – without the jargon.
Get updates on tenant rights, housing law changes, landlord tactics, useful guides and new tools designed to help renters protect themselves and push back properly.
Whether you’re dealing with a housing issue right now or just want to stay informed, we’ll keep you one step ahead.
UNDERSTAND HOUSING LAW
Housing law can be confusing, but understanding your rights doesn’t have to be.
Explore straightforward guides covering everything from deposits and repairs to evictions, rent increases and safety obligations, so you know where you stand and what action you can take when something isn’t right.
The more you understand the rules, the easier it becomes to recognise when something isn’t right and know what to do next.
