"This gentleman and his family have had ongoing issues with damp and condensation in their rented apartment over the last few years.  I have submitted a number of members reps on his behalf but he feels that nothing is being done.  Name and address supplied, not for publication.  In the light of the health and safety implications for his family and the councils duty of care to them could his situation be investigated please."

REPLY:

The provision of information relating to specific properties in this open manner is limited due to data protection. The Environmental Health Section carry out inspections of private rented properties to ensure compliance with the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations. Non compliances found during an inspection are then highlighted to both the Landlords and the Management Company where applicable. An inspection of this property was carried out on the 05 December 2017. An investigation and follow up action will be taken to ensure compliance with the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations.
