Understand your rights in minutes

Published and maintained by the Get Renters Rights teamRules last reviewed How we build these checkers

A few simple questions. Real UK housing law applied to your situation. A clear answer and, if you need one, a letter you can send today.

Step 1 - Answer a few questions. Pick what you're dealing with (eviction notice, repairs, rent increase, deposit, damp and mould, or illegal eviction), then answer a short set of plain-English questions. You don't need an account.

Step 2 - We apply UK housing law rules. Your answers are run through a decision tree built directly from statutes such as the Housing Act 1988, the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and the Renters' Rights Act 2025.

Step 3 - You get a clear result. You see what the law says about your situation in plain English: which rules apply and what you can do next. Where a deadline matters, the result says so.

Step 4 - Generate a ready-to-send letter. If a letter makes sense, we'll draft one for you based on your answers. Read it, change what doesn't fit, then send it to your landlord or letting agent.

Every checker is tied to specific sections of legislation rather than a general summary of it, and your answers stay in your browser. If you're already in court proceedings, facing immediate homelessness, or dealing with harassment, contact Shelter (0808 800 4444) or Citizens Advice for advice from a qualified person.
