Housing Standards
Our Environmental Health team is responsible for the assessment and improvement of private rented accommodation in our area.
Our objective is to make privately rented homes decent, safe and comfortable to live in.
The team deal with complaints regarding the poor condition of rental accommodation, these complaints include issues such as the presence of damp or mould, lack of heating, dis-repair, lack of fire detection or overcrowding.
We also deal with complaints regarding Blocks of Flats, Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and HMO Licensing.
In certain circumstances the team also investigates poor housing conditions in owner/occupied properties, but in all cases we consider the principles of our Housing Enforcement Policy 2024-2029 when taking any action.
