Putting Safety First
Maintaining Safety Standards
The Private Sector Housing Team responds to complaints from tenants in HMO's and ensures that fire safety, amenity and general public health standards are put in place. The Government requires Council's to enforce fire safety in all houses in multiple occupation. We work in close co-operation with any landlord willing to work with us in achieving the appropriate standards.
We would like to hear from landlords who wish to discuss the above and are willing to work with us towards achieving not only the appropriate standards but high standards of accommodation. Please contact the Private Sector Housing Team.
If you are a landlord of a HMO you may require a licence under the Housing Act 2004.
HMO Licensing
Tenants who have any complaints regarding disrepair or any other fire safety or health and safety should contact their landlord in the first instance however if the issues are not resolved please contact the Private Sector Housing Team.
