Private rented sector

If you are renting a property from a private landlord we can offer you advice about a range of issues including:

  • Your rights and responsibilities as a tenant
  • Your landlord’s rights and responsibilities to you
  • Problems paying the rent
  • Harassment and illegal eviction.

We can also put you in touch with other specialist agencies such as Citizens Advice Bureau.

We can also help you try to find a property to rent by:

  • Giving you details of properties that we know are available
  • Providing landlord and estate agent details
  • Signposting to other agencies that can help with rent deposits
  • Providing information about the cost of renting a property 

In some cases we may also be able to offer financial help to secure a property.
