Tenant's Rights across Europe (University of Bremen, 2014)

• The University of Bremen acted as a coordinator of transnational research Tenlaw Project on Tenancy Law and Housing Policy in Multi-level Europe

• As a part of the research, they compiled a series of reports from different European countries in an information brochure Tenant's Rights Brochure: "My Rights as Tenant in Europe"

  • The brochures provide an overview of rental dwelling and the rights and obligations of tenants in the different EU and non-EU States: the ways to find a dwelling, the conclusion, execution and termination of rental contracts, bureaucratic duties, possible traps, the role of estate agents and tenants’ associations (including contact data) as well as ways to apply for public/ social housing etc.
