Repairs

If you are renting in Derby and are having problems with your landlord or rental home, our Housing Standards team can help or advise you.

If you think your home is unsafe or in need of repairs, you must inform your landlord as soon as possible. You can contact the Housing Standards team if you think your landlord or agent:

  • is taking too long to carry out the repairs
  • is not responding to your request to fix the problem.
