What we can help you with?
We have responsibility for ensuring minimum standards are achieved in private rented housing.
Through our work we aim to ensure that all housing within the private sector is:
- in a good state of repair
- decent
- safe for the occupants to live in
We deal with concerns such as:
- damp and mould
- the provision of adequate heating
- fire safety
- provision of adequate kitchen and bathroom facilities
- overcrowding
- reducing the risk from slips, trips and falls
If necessary, we can take enforcement action against private landlords. This is to ensure that work is undertaken to bring the property up to the required standard.
