Problems Within Privately Rented Homes
Common problems within the home include issues with damp and mould, poor insulation, issues with cold and draughts, or homes that may have unsafe electrics.
We know that the vast majority of landlords in Eastbourne offer really good quality accommodation. A small number of landlords occasionally need a little guidance to bring their properties up to a reasonable standard.
If you feel your landlord has not taken your complaint seriously, then the council's Private Housing Team may be able to help you.
