Regardless of where you live in Gravesend, whether you rent from the council or a housing association, you are protected by the law in England and Wales. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 states that your home must be:

  • Free from serious damp and mould growth.
  • Equipped with functioning heating and hot water systems.

If your Gravesend landlord fails to meet these standards, you can claim compensation.
