Tenants are strongly encouraged to contemplate their leases and quest after legal counsel so that they all the way take in their rights and potential liabilities. Tenants are limited to consequential situations and they must try to keep the costs as low as possible. For example, if the roof has a leak in it, this cannot be used as an excuse to add two new floors to the building! Tenants are entitled to have a visitor stay eight (8) days consecutively in a calendar month. Any visitor staying consecutive nights, as agreed upon, shall not be required to check in and out during the course of a consecutive stay. You can look at a free tenant lease form to get a general notion about tenant rights.
Tenants are advised to write a letter to a landlord asking to deal with the problem within a pragmatic timeframe. If the landlord refuses, a hearing can be conducted in front of the officer of residential tenancies. Tenants are still council tenants, with their existing council tenancies, and leaseholders remain council leaseholders, with their existing leases. Tenants’ and leaseholders’ rights do not change. Tenants are advised to call on/upon/in a lawyer regarding particular situations of concern to them. Tenants are sensible for replacing the lock and keys, should keys be lost. Tenants are able to compare how much support is available towards their housing costs in opposed areas and for opposed property sizes.
