Your rights as a tenant are laid out in the tenancy agreement. They allow you to enjoy the rented property in peace and quiet, without the landlord interrupting you at any time of day - they have to give a notice period. If there are any repairs that are required in the rented property, they need to be done swiftly and to the tenant's satisfaction. You must also have a copy of the gas safety certificate. Finally, if you're evicted at any stage, then they have to abide by the rules within the tenancy agreement.
