What are my rights?
By
I’m living in a privately rented 2 bed flat in London. We moved in in Feb 17th 2007 and our contract is for one year. For some reason, our landlord gets some of his mail delivered to our house, I recently opened one of his letters and discovered he was 2 MONTHS in arrears in his mortgage payments, does anyone know what rights I would have as a tenant if the house were to be repossessed?

I’m not sure about London, but here in America you would be in serious trouble for opening someone else’s mail.

I think it probably depends on your contract. These days people usually only contract for a fixed term, after which you don’t really have any rights.
If, however, they are selling it as an investment property the new owner may be glad that he doesn’t have to find another tenant who pays his rent on time and doesn’t upset the neighbours!

None. Pay your rent and quit whining you sniveling limey.
Whoa. Sorry. Have no idea where that came from. I would suggest calling your local city government general help line. In US we have rent control boards in most major cities. I would probably exclude the point of opening someone elses mail.
