A landlord or letting agent who won't let you live in your home in peace, or acts in a way intended to make you leave your home or to take away your rights could be guilty of harassment, which is a criminal offence. There are steps you can take to deal with this. Includes a letter template letter to send to your landlord. (This information only applies to England.)

The Equality Act 2010 protects you from harassment by someone like a landlord or estate agent. Harassment is a form of unlawful discrimination and includes things like abusive or threatening comments, jokes or behaviour. If you’ve experienced harassment, you may be able to do something about it.
