Many homes across Stoke-on-Trent, from traditional terraced streets to estate housing managed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, suffer from poor insulation. Cold spots often lead to thick damp and mould on walls and ceilings. Landlords must keep properties safe and warm. If you told your landlord about leaking pipes, cold radiators or dark mould and they did nothing, you have rights as a tenant.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Stoke-on-Trent?

Regardless of where you live in Stoke-on-Trent, 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:

  • Structurally sound and free from instability.
  • Free from serious damp and mould growth.
  • Equipped with functioning heating and hot water systems.
  • Safe from hazards like faulty wiring or gas leaks.

If your Stoke-on-Trent landlord fails to meet these standards, you can claim compensation.
