Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

You have certain rights and responsibilities if you're a tenant in privately rented property. You have the right to: live in a property that's safe and in a good state of repair, have your deposit returned when the tenancy ends, challenge excessively high charges, know who your landlord is, live in the property undisturbed, be protected from unfair eviction and unfair rent. If you do not know who your landlord is, write to the person or company you pay rent to. Your landlord can be fined if they do not give you this information within 21 days.

Explanation:

Verb tense error occurs when there is the wrongful use of the tense form of the verb. The verb tense tells the readers of when the action is taking place, and so, the correct usage of the verb tense ensures the correctness of the statements being made.

In order to refrain from making errors in the verb tense structure or form, the consistency of the verb tense must be maintained. The subject-verb agreement must also be taken into consideration so that the correct tense of the verb can be maintained.

Therefore, the errors of the verb tense in the given passage are "have", "know" and "is".
