We found the Council was at fault in delaying inspecting the accommodation and issuing the outcome of that inspection. It was also at fault in attempting to arrange a re-inspection later in 2024. It was not at fault in declining to commence formal legal action against the landlord. The Council’s faults caused Mrs Y injustice in the form of uncertainty for which we are recommending a remedy.

Statement Upheld Homelessness 02-Sep-2025

The Council should apologise to Miss X, make a symbolic payment to her and provide an update about ongoing service improvements.
