Tenant's rights

Looking for a property to rent at any time can be hassle. Not only do you have to think about finding a suitable and habitable property, you also have to consider what you can afford and whether or not an area suits your requirements in terms of location.

In addition to this you have to be aware of your rights as a tenant and what to expect from your landlord in respect of his duties towards you.

Once you have found a suitable property there are many questions to be answered as well as knowing that you are entering into an agreement, be it oral or written, with your landlord. It is a good idea to have a checklist highlighting your specific requirements.
