Help for private tenants if your home is in disrepair
Get help if your privately rented property is in disrepair and your landlord is not fixing it, or if it's caused by a neighbouring property.
Who can request help from the council about disrepair to their home
As a private tenant you can request help from the council if your property is in disrepair because:
- your landlord is not fixing it
- a neighbouring property is damaging your home
Do not use this form to request a repair if you are a council or housing association tenant.
If you are a Brighton & Hove council tenant, use our How to request a repair to your home page to request a repair to your council property.
Financial compensation for disrepair
We cannot help you seek compensation for any disrepair to your privately rented property. If you want compensation for any disrepair you should seek your own legal advice or contact:
