Contact us about your private rented housing
Contact us if you need help with a private housing problem, or if you have a question about our private housing services.
How to get in touch
We are unable to help with Housing Benefit or Council Tax enquiries.
If your property is in disrepair and your landlord is not fixing it or if it's caused by a neighbouring property, you can ask for help to get repairs.
For any other questions about health and safety issues in your property or for HMO (houses in multiple occupation) licensing, you can also contact our Private Sector Housing team by:
- email at psh@brighton-hove.gov.uk
- using our online form to ask for help to get repairs
- using our online form to renew or apply for an HMO licence
- phone on 01273 293 156 between 9am and 3pm
- post at Private Sector Housing, Brighton & Hove City Council, G14, Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, Hove, BN3 3BQ
Housing adaptations
Adaptations are changes to your home that could make life easier for you, if you have a disability or health condition.
If you own your home, rent privately or are a housing association tenant, you could also get help towards the cost of adapting your home.
