How to Protect Your Rights as a Tenant



A tenant is not in possession of the demised premises at the mercy of the landlord. He is not in possession of the demised premises at the whims and caprices of the landlord. The landlord cannot impose anything he likes on the tenant. The tenant has a bundle of legal rights that must be protected.

Tenancy agreement is an agreement where both landlord and tenant protect their rights and interests. If a tenant doesn’t know his rights, he may not know when they are infringed upon. And even when he knows that his rights have been trampled upon, he may not know how to go about seeking redress.

The landlord cannot eject a tenant anyhow. There is a very strict procedure he must observe before ejecting tenant. If this procedure is not completely observed by the landlord, the landlord’s act will amount to wrongful ejection, which will give tenant the opportunity of remaining in occupation until the landlord follows the procedure.

If you are a tenant, you must know your rights. You must know how to protect your rights from being infringed upon, what to do when your rights are infringed upon and what to do when you are unlawfully ejected.    

Here is an e-book that contains everything you need to know to protect your rights and to curtail the excesses of the landlord. The e-book is titled: “TENANT’S TREASURY - How to Protect Your Rights as a Tenant.” Code: B2 (3). Written by an experienced legal practitioner, the e-book is invaluable to every tenant.
