Across Southampton City Council estates, damp and mould cause big problems for families. Drafty windows, faulty heating and leaking roofs leave properties feeling cold and unhealthy.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Southampton?

Regardless of where you live in Southampton, 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.
  • Safe from hazards like faulty wiring or gas leaks.

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