How to get in touch

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.

Please note that we are unable to help with any Housing Benefit or Council Tax enquiries.

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:
