Private tenants

Did you know...?

Both landlords and tenants have a set of responsibilities when renting a property in the private sector. 

If you rent your home from a private landlord or housing association, you're not on your own if there is a problem with the property. In some cases the Council can help. 

Refer to GOV.UK's How to Rent a safe home guide for helpful advice and information on some common problems.
