The 'How to Rent' guide is produced by the Goverment to help tenants and landlords in the private rented sector understand their rights and responsibilities. It provides a checklist and more detailed information on each stage of the process, including:

• what to look out for before renting
• living in a rented home
• what happens at the end of a tenancy
• what to do if things go wrong
