What is a Secure Tenant ?

Secure Tenants have landlords who are public bodies such as local authorities. The landlord must get a court order if they want to end the tenancy. The property must be a place to live in. The tenant must be an individual rather than a company or charity etc. The property must have been let as a separate place to live in.

Temporary accommodation given to homeless people will not be secure tenancies.

I have received a written notice from my landlord telling me I have to leave the property by a certain date. What can I do ?
