Being threatened in my own home

That article states that a landlord/lady may not permit one tenant to threaten another. It doesn't really go into more detail than that. I'm in the unpleasant situation where one of my housemates is threatening me with violence and I would like to know what my rights are.
Has anybody got details?

Thanks for your reply
I've spoken to my landlady and she's not yet sure what to do, but she gave me the impression she won't get rid of him, and if I leave then I'm contractually obligated to pay rent until the end of the term which runs until June - that's money I just don't have. I'd be happy to move out, but I couldn't afford to!
I need to know if I have any rights that I can use to force her hand and get this nutjob out of here.
Failing that, seek advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau
I love my mum.
For more detailed advice on your situation you may find it useful to put your question to our askTheSite service - this is answered by experts at Shelter who can give you more information about your rights and you will get your reply within three days. I really hope the situation gets better for you soon.
