Dealing with problems in private rented accommodation.
If you have concerns about the condition of your rented house or your landlord, you can contact our private rented sector housing team.
Before you contact us, make sure that your landlord knows what the problem is and that you have given them enough time to sort it out.
If your landlord is a member of the Leeds Landlords Accreditation Scheme or UNIPOL you should contact the operators of these schemes by using the 'External Links' on this page. They will investigate your complaint.
If you feel that your property is in a dangerous condition, contact us as soon as possible.
