Occupiers with Basic Protection (OWBP) is a form of security in the UK housing market, which offers basic protection for people living in rented accommodation. OWBP is designed to provide tenants with an extra layer of security, by making it harder for landlords to evict them without a court order. This protection is applicable to people living in private rented accommodation, and applies regardless of whether the tenancy is written or verbal. OWBP also protects tenants from rent increases above the market rate. Occupiers with Basic Protection ensures that tenants are able to live in their home without fear of eviction due to changes in the law or changes in the market. It also means that tenants will be able to stay in their home for longer, providing stability and security.
