'''Verbal agreements''' : While the landlord is required to provide a written tenancy agreement with you when you move in, the law still protects you even if you only have a verbal agreement. Furthermore, if you didn’t have a written agreement to begin with you do not have to sign one later on if the landlord tries to change terms that you agreed to verbally.

'''New landlord''' : If you get a new landlord, the rules in your old agreement will stay the same. A new landlord can’t make you sign a new agreement. For example, if your place is sold the new owner would have to follow the same rules about rent increases as if your landlord had never changed.
