Private tenants

We aim to improve standards of safety and repair in privately rented property and in houses in multiple occupations (HMO's)

If you rent from a private landlord or housing association we can help with problems such as:

• poor housing conditions e.g. dampness
• overcrowding
• gas and electrical safety
• lack of kitchen and bathroom facilities
• lack of fire safety in HMOs

We can require the owner to carry out appropriate repairs and improvements.

Decent and Safe Homes in the East midlands is a new initiative being championed by the 3 cities of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. Its aim is to raise awareness of the Housing Act 2004. For more information please visit the DASH website.
