Shelter Tenancy Checker
Identify you tenancy type and access tailored advice on your rights, from eviction rules to deposit protection.
The Shelter Tenancy Checker is a free online tool provided by Shelter England to help renters in England identify what type of tenancy they have.
By answering a few simple questions about your living situation - such as who your landlord is, what kind of property you live in, and how you pay rent - the tool determines your tenancy type. This is important because your legal rights and protections as a tenant depend on the kind of tenancy you hold.
Once you know your tenancy type, Shelter provides tailored advice on your rights, including issues like eviction, repairs, deposits, and notice periods.
