Housing Advice for Private Tenants

This section offers a range of information and advice for people looking for, or living in, private rented accommodation. The pages are arranged under the four headings in the menu on the left: Rent and Deposits; Repairs; Safety in Rented Accommodation; Legal Notices and Eviction.

The Council's Housing Advice Service offers a free and confidential service to help private tenants understand their rights and responsibilities. You can contact them by phone, online or by coming to the Civic Centre, see 'Contact This Service' above. If you cannot get to the Civic Centre we can arrange to visit you at home.
