Get to know your rights
Your landlord must treat you fairly, charge affordable rents and make repairs promptly. They should also have an appropriate complaints policy.
The complaints policy will explain how your landlord should handle your case. If they fail to meet their own policy, and you are not happy with the way your landlord has handled a complaint, then you can refer the issue to the Housing Ombudsman Service.
The Ombudsman has the power to investigate complaints and resolve disputes. It is a free, independent and impartial service that has the power to order your landlord to pay out compensation appropriate.
