What rights do I have as a tenant?

As an Incremental Living tenant, you have legal rights alongside the terms of your agreement. The precise protections depend on whether you live in England or Dublin.

Your main rights

• A home that meets the relevant safety & repair standards.
• Peaceful occupation without unreasonable interference.
• Clear information about the landlord, rent & tenancy terms.
• Appropriate notice before routine inspections or visits.
• Protection against unlawful eviction & unfair treatment.
• Fair handling of your tenancy deposit & permitted deductions.
• Access to the relevant independent advice or dispute process.

In England, our standard tenancies are assured periodic tenancies, with statutory rules on rent increases & the grounds a landlord can use to seek possession. In Dublin, Irish residential tenancy law & the RTB provide separate protections.

You must also meet your own responsibilities, including paying rent, taking reasonable care of the apartment, reporting repairs & respecting neighbours.

If you are unsure about a particular right, ask us for clarification or read GOV.UK tenant guidance & the RTB’s tenant rights guide.
