When you occupy a council-owned house, the local authorities are responsible for any home maintenance and upkeep necessary – even minor leaks or emergency repairs. If your grievances have gone ignored by the council despite your complaints, then it is within your right to take legal action against them.
Making a claim might result in the court ordering the city to make a repair, as well as compensation for expenses incurred.
Before filing a complaint to the council, it is essential that you confirm they have not responded to your reported issue. It would be prudent for you to report the problem first and wait for their response before taking any further action.
