In some cases your employer arranges your housing. This page explains what your rights and duties are in that situation.
Your employer is the employment agency or the company where you work. Your employer can arrange housing for you. You must always be given a separate tenancy agreement for your home. This tenancy agreement must not form part of your contract of employment. Make clear agreements about the rent, how much you pay and what will happen when you stop working.
