If you are a private sector tenant and need information about repairs, want to check your rights or are having problems with your landlord, you can talk to one of our advisors at the civic centre either on the phone or in person, or you can email us a question and we will respond with advice.
Also, the following website link is packed with advice for tenants with problems or facing eviction and you may find answers to the problems that you are having.
