What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Leicester?

Regardless of where you live in Leicester, whether you rent from the council or a housing association, you are protected by the law in England and Wales. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 states that your home must be:

If your Leicester landlord fails to meet these standards, you can claim compensation.
