Introduction
Most people think legal help is only needed in serious court matters, but your rights apply in daily life—whether you're signing a lease, dealing with a workplace issue, or getting into an accident. Knowing your basic legal rights can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect yourself in unexpected situations.
Common Situations Where Your Rights Matter
Tenancy Agreements: You're entitled to a written rental contract, fair eviction notice, and maintenance support.
Employment: Employers must provide written terms, pay minimum wages, and ensure a safe workplace.
Consumer Rights: If a product is faulty, you can demand a replacement, refund, or legal compensation under the Consumer Protection Act.
Why Legal Awareness Is Important - Awareness empowers you. Many legal problems arise simply because people didn’t know what they were entitled to—or how to respond when rights were violated.
Final Thoughts - You don’t have to be a lawyer to understand your rights. And if you're unsure, it’s always wise to consult a legal expert before signing anything or responding to legal threats.
