English

If you rent your accommodation from a private landlord, you rent privately and become either a "tenant" or a "licensee".

Problems in your neighbourhood can range from barking dogs to serious antisocial behaviour such as vandalism. Generally speaking, any behaviour that inflicts problems and disruption on individual families or wider communities may constitute unacceptable behaviour and, in some cases, antisocial activity.

If you’re renting a property, you have to pay rent to the landlord. You can be evicted if you don’t pay the rent. In most cases, you also need to give the landlord a deposit prior to starting your tenancy and many private landlords require that the month's rent be paid at the beginning of the month.

Tied accommodation is accommodation that is provided as a part of a person's job and is conditioned by the worker's continued employment with his/her employer. If you live in tied accommodation, you will generally lose the right to remain in the property if you lose your job.
