Private Renting: Privacy

It’s your home! Your landlord or agent must not disturb or harass you. Your landlord can only visit when it is convenient for you unless it’s an emergency. They must give you at least 24 hours’ notice. Landlords must let you live in the home you rent without unnecessary interference. For as long as you live there, it is your home. That means you have a right to say who comes in and who does not. That said, you have a responsibility, as a tenant, to give reasonable access to your landlord when something needs repairing. You should always be reasonable and polite to your landlord in the same way that you can expect of them. ?
