Quiet enjoyment complaint letter
If your landlord or letting agent is entering your home without permission, harassing you, or interfering with your right to live peacefully in your home, you have the right to demand they stop. This service generates a formal letter asserting your legal rights and setting a clear boundary. £9.99, and you can preview your letter before paying.
Who this is for
Tenants in England with an assured shorthold tenancy or social tenancy. Covers situations including repeated unannounced visits, entering without notice or consent, intimidation, threats, and other conduct that interferes with your use of your home.
What the letter covers
The letter asserts the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment, which applies to all tenancies, and references the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 where relevant. It sets out what conduct must stop, establishes a formal written record, and outlines the steps you can take if the behaviour continues.
Example letter opening
I am writing to formally request that you cease conduct that interferes with my right to quiet enjoyment of my home at [property address]. The landlord has an implied obligation to allow the tenant quiet enjoyment of the premises for the duration of the tenancy...
Your letter will be tailored to the specific conduct you are experiencing and whether this is a first formal request or an escalation.
Common questions
- Is this legal advice?
- No. Fix My Issue is a document preparation service. The letters are built from legally reviewed paragraph blocks, but this is not a substitute for legal advice. If your situation is complex, contact Shelter (0808 800 4444) or Citizens Advice.
- What is quiet enjoyment?
- Quiet enjoyment is a legal right implied into every tenancy. It means your landlord must not interfere with your ability to live in your home peacefully. This includes entering without proper notice, harassment, cutting off utilities, or any conduct designed to pressure you to leave.
- My landlord keeps entering without notice. Is that covered?
- Yes. Your landlord is generally required to give at least 24 hours written notice before entering, and you can refuse access except in a genuine emergency. The letter sets this out and demands the conduct stops.
- Can I see the letter before I pay?
- Yes. You complete the intake form, preview a summary of your letter, and only pay if you want the full version.
- What if the harassment is serious or I feel unsafe?
- If you feel at risk of violence or illegal eviction, contact the police and Shelter (0808 800 4444) immediately. This letter service is designed for situations that can be resolved through a formal written request, not emergencies where your safety is at risk.
