Renter protections in the UK are worth fuck all. You might have a 12 month contract, but if the landlord wants you gone they just choose not to renew.

You either suck the landlords dick or start looking for a new landlords dick to suck.

Anyone that thinks otherwise has clearly never been a tennant, the balance of power is almost completely one sided.

Renter protection in the Netherlands is pretty great. Once a rental contract is renewed, it automatically becomes a contract with no fixed term. If your landlord wants you out after that 1 chance, they'll have to get a judge to approve it.
