Are the home protection laws the same for tenants as for home owners?

    Just something I'm wondering about as any intruder wouldn't actually be on your land/property.

    i think the emphasis was on YOUR property, as in he wouldnt own the property he would only be renting it.

    Why the emphasis on MY property? What has that got to do with anything?

    I think that in this case, because you have a lease for the property, then the law would consider the property to be yours until the end of the lease. You have legal title for the use of the property but obviously with many restrictions that the landlord has not got - i.e., you can't build on the land nor can you sell the property.

    He's asking whether the law only extends to the landlord because it's HIS property. YOU are a tenant - you do not own the land. He's asking whether you can still claim to be defending your property/land if you don't own it but are just renting.

    I'd say yes, it applies to tenants as well. The law refers to the inviolability of the 'dwelling' and not the person's property. You don't have to own it for it to be a dwelling.
