About Get Renters Rights

Get Renters Rights provides free, interactive legal information checkers for private renters in England. Each checker is built directly from specific statutes — not general summaries — and walks you through the same questions a solicitor would ask.

Each checker is a rule-based decision tree tied to specific sections of UK housing legislation. When you answer a question, the tool applies the statutory test that applies to your situation and tells you what the law says — with the exact statute and section cited. No data is stored on our servers. Your answers stay in your browser tab only.

The tools reference: Housing Act 1988 (as amended by the Renters' Rights Act 2025), Housing Act 1985, Housing Act 2004, Protection from Eviction Act 1977, Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, and the Renters' Rights Act 2025.

This tool provides general legal information — not legal advice. It cannot account for every fact of your specific situation, local authority policy, or judicial discretion. If you are facing eviction, harassment, or a serious housing dispute, contact Shelter (0808 800 4444) or Citizens Advice for advice from a qualified person.
