Landlords have the right to receive the agreed rent and other payments properly documented in the lease.
They may expect tenants to use the property responsibly, report damage and comply with lawful occupancy conditions.
A landlord can normally arrange reasonable access for inspections, maintenance or repairs, while respecting the tenant's privacy and the contract.
Where a tenant breaches the agreement, the landlord may pursue payment, damages or possession through the appropriate legal process.
The owner may decide whether to renew a fixed-term arrangement, subject to any mandatory notice and contractual requirements.
Rights are strengthened by a registered lease, an inventory, traceable payments and complete records.
Landlord rights do not justify self-help measures such as intimidation, lock changes or utility disconnection.
