Renters need a simple way to complain about their homes, Citizens Advice says

25 Ionawr 2019

We helped private renters with 14,000 issues about repair and maintenance in the last 12 months. It is the biggest problem we see among private renters.

Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said:

“People who rent shabby or unsafe homes face a risky, costly and complicated process when they want to complain.

“This single portal for renters to solve their problems - which landlords must legally join - is great news.

“However, it’s important the Housing Complaints Resolution Service is free, easy to navigate and protects renters from ‘revenge eviction’ if they complain.

“We look forward to working with the government to make sure this service is fit for purpose and is legislated for as soon as possible.”
