🌞 The sun might be shining, but housing issues don’t take a summer break! 🏚️

We’ve had some beautiful weather lately, but if your home is still suffering from problems like:

🧱 Cracks in the walls

🚿 Leaks or plumbing issues

🦠 Damp, mould or mildew (even if it’s dried up now!)

🪟 Broken windows or doors

🐀 Pests or infestations

…it’s still important to report them now, not later!

⚠️ These problems don’t magically disappear just because it’s warm — and come autumn, they’ll likely get worse.

💷 You could be owed £1,000s in compensation if your landlord hasn’t fixed things within a reasonable time.

Get your home sorted before the cold weather returns! 🛠️

Damp or mould

Leaks or broken heating

🦠 Got Mould in Your Council or Housing Association Home? Here’s What You Need to Know
Mould is more than just a nuisance — it’s a serious health hazard. Here’s what to do if you're dealing with it:

✅ 1. Take Action Fast
✔️ Try to find the source — check for leaks or water damage.
✔️ Clean visible mould (if safe to do so) with water and detergent.
✔️ Improve airflow in the room if possible.

Then report it to your landlord straight away — by email if you can, so you have a record.

✅ 2. Keep Proof
📸 Take clear photos and videos of the mould.
📝 Write down when you reported it and keep any emails or texts.
🫁 Keep track of any health issues (like coughing or allergies) in case they’re linked.

This can be used as evidence if they ignore it.

✅ 3. Know Your Rights
You have a legal right to a safe and healthy home.
Your landlord must fix serious problems like mould within a reasonable time — usually 14–28 days.
If they don’t, you may be able to take legal action or claim compensation.

Don’t let them delay or blame you. Mould is their problem to fix.
We help tenants take action — clearly, easily, and for free.

🙄 Heard These Before? You're Not the Only One...
When your home is damp, mouldy, cold or falling apart — the last thing you want is an excuse.
But tenants across the UK keep hearing the same tired lines from councils and housing associations:

🔁 “It’s in the queue.”
🔁 “We’re waiting on a contractor.”
🔁 “It’s not classed as an emergency.”
🔁 “We’re aware of the issue.”
🔁 “We’ve already done a repair — it must be something you’re doing.”
🔁 “It’s caused by lifestyle.”
🔁 “We’ll get back to you.” (and never do)

😤 Sound familiar?

📢 You don’t have to accept this.
You have rights — and if repairs are delayed or ignored, you could be entitled to compensation.

🗂️ Making a Complaint About Your Housing? Here’s How to Protect Yourself!
If you’ve reported repairs to the council or housing association, it’s very important to keep proper records — in case they ignore you or delay fixing the problem.

Here’s what you should do 👇

✅ 1. Always Put It in Writing
📧 Email is best. If you call them, follow up with an email saying what was discussed.
✍️ If you write a letter, take a photo or keep a copy.

✅ 2. Keep Evidence of the Problem
📸 Take clear photos or videos of the issue (e.g. mould, leaks, broken fittings).
🗓️ Make a note of when the problem started and how it’s affecting your home.

✅ 3. Save Everything
📁 Keep copies of all emails, texts, letters, and replies.
🗒️ Write down the names of people you spoke to and what they said.
📅 Note down dates and times of every call or report you’ve made.

✅ 4. Follow Up
If nothing happens, send another message reminding them.
Keep track of how long it’s taking — this matters if you make a claim later.

💬 Having a proper record can help you get repairs done faster — and may support you if you’re owed compensation.

🏚️ Why Do So Many Tenants Struggle to Get Repairs Done?
Even when tenants do everything right, they still face big obstacles when trying to complain about their housing. Here are the most common problems:

🛑 1. Being Ignored or Fobbed Off
No reply after reporting an issue.
Staff say “we’ll look into it” — but nothing happens.
Tenants are told “it’s not urgent”... and wait months.

🧾 2. Complicated or Confusing Processes
Long, confusing online forms.
People don’t know how to write complaint letters.
No idea who to speak to or what department to contact.

📉 3. Lack of Knowledge About Their Rights
Many tenants don’t know:
– They can make a formal complaint
– Their landlord has legal duties under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
– They could be owed compensation for delays

📸 4. Not Having Evidence or Knowing What to Record
Tenants often don’t take photos or save messages.
They don’t realise how important it is to keep a record.

😟 5. Fear of Retaliation
Some tenants worry about being:
– Evicted
– Moved somewhere worse
– Treated unfairly for speaking up
This is especially hard for older people, people with disabilities, or those with language barriers.

🌐 6. Digital Exclusion
Many councils only take complaints online.
People with poor internet or no digital skills are left behind.
Language barriers make it even harder.

🧍 7. Feeling Alone or Powerless
Many feel like “it’s just me” or “they won’t listen anyway.”
So they give up — and the problems get worse.

🔧 If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
We help tenants get repairs and take the stress away — step by step, for free.
