What is harassment?

Harassment can be anything a landlord does, or fails to do, that makes you feel unsafe in the property or forces you to leave.

Landlords cannot force you to leave without a court order or formal notice being served. 

Examples of harassment

• Stopping services, like electricity
• Withholding keys, eg: there are 2 tenants in a property but the landlord will only give 1 key
• Refusing to carry out repairs
• Anti-social behaviour by a landlord
• Threats and physical violence 

If you think you are being harassed you can seek support at the Student Hub.
