You have the right to register to vote, which can be done online rather than through an annual postal form.
If you pay the energy bills you have the right to switch provider and change the meter (though it is polite to let the landlord know this).
Your landlord can’t unreasonably refuse a request to keep a pet, but if you want one you should make this request in writing – read more here.
Depending on how many people live in the property and where it is, your landlord may need to be licensed. If you feel like your landlord is being unreasonable, by banning overnight guests, for example, check if they need a licence and have one. Your council should have a public register of licensed homes to check* – let us know if yours doesn’t.
