The Housing Regeneration Team works with landlords and tenants to ensure the legal standards for housing are met.
If a tenant makes a complaint about poor housing conditions, we will investigate, and if needed, require the landlord to carry out repairs or improvements.
Examples
of works which may be required include
• Leaking roofs and gutters made weatherproo
• Missing glazing or broken windows made safe
• Dangerous electrical wiring returned to
good working order
• Faulty fire alarms returned to full working
order
• Adequate kitchen or bathroom facilities
installed.
What happens if…
• Landlords may be prosecuted
for failing to carry out repairs after a Notice has been served on them.
• Very occasionally
conditions within a house cannot be put right and so a house may have to be
demolished or closed. In these rare
circumstances the Council will offer the tenants alternative accommodation.
• Houses which are in use as
bedsits or long-term bed and breakfast accommodation, are known as "houses
in multiple occupation" (HMO) and must meet another group of legal
standards covering matters including overcrowding, sufficient bathrooms and
kitchens, and fire precautions.
