The Tenant’s Survival Guide by Lesley Henderson is an indispensable book for anyone who rents. A landlord herself, Henderson is passionate about ensuring that tenants are not treated like second-class citizens and has taken it on herself to make sure that all future tenants, be they students or professionals, go into an agreement with a landlord or letting agency armed with the knowledge of the laws that are in place to protect them.
The book covers everything you need to know about being a tenant, including chapters on viewings, the new deposit law, harassment and eviction and how your landlord’s mortgage affects you. The Tenant’s Survival Guide is designed to protect you from the worst and help steer you towards the best in the notoriously uneven world of lettings.
