Here are some important things you need to know if you are a tenant and feel you are at risk of losing your home.
- Always put your safety first.
- You have rights. Most tenants cannot be evicted until a court says so.
- If you have to leave your home to keep safe, do so, but read on for more information.
- Illegal evictions and harassment from your landlord are crimes. If you are being illegally evicted or harassed call Buckinghamshire Council who can investigate, tell your landlord to stop and take action if the harassment continues.
- Don't leave your home just because you've been told to. Doing so when you don't have to may affect your rights to help getting somewhere else.
- Try to keep hold of all the paperwork related to your tenancy and deposit.
