Should I have a rent book?
By law, a landlord has to provide a rent book to somebody who pays rent weekly, unless the rent includes a substantial payment for meals. The rent book must contain:
- The name and address of the landlord and the landlord's agent if there is one
- The amount of rent to be paid
- Description of the property the rent is for.
