Tenants are entitled to receive and retain a clear copy of the lease governing their home.
A registered private residential lease provides an official record of the parties and agreed terms where registration is required.
Tenants should enjoy reasonable privacy and should not face arbitrary entry, lock changes, intimidation or utility disconnection.
They may request that the landlord addresses defects or obligations for which the landlord is responsible.
Deposits and deductions should be handled transparently with supporting evidence.
If a dispute arises, the tenant may communicate formally, seek advice and use the appropriate dispute mechanism.
Tenant rights exist alongside duties to pay rent, care for the property, respect neighbours and comply with lawful lease terms.
