Request a housing inspection
The council's housing enforcement team carries out inspections of private rented accommodation, including housing association properties.
The team deals with health and safety and has powers to legally force landlords or letting agents to carry out improvements to properties.
Whether you're a landlord or tenant, the housing enforcement team can help make sure your property complies with the law.
