Statement Not upheld Private housing 15-Sep-2026

London Borough of Lambeth (26 015 616)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 14-Sep-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s response to a report of housing disrepair. The complaint is late and I have not seen sufficient evidence of good reasons to exercise discretion to consider it now.

London Borough of Harrow (25 025 279)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 10-Sep-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s response to her reports of private housing disrepair, pest infestation and an attempted illegal eviction. There is insufficient evidence of fault to warrant an investigation.

London Borough of Barnet (25 028 250)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 09-Sep-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council's enforcement of housing conditions in a privately rented property. This is because further investigation would be unlikely to lead to a different outcome.

London Borough of Bromley (25 011 240)

Statement Upheld Private housing 08-Sep-2026

Summary: There was no evidence of fault in how the Council oversaw the housing repairs as set out in the improvement notice for Ms X’s property. It was at fault for not retaining a copy of the report after it carried out an inspection of the works. The Council has agreed to apologise and carry out a fresh inspection to remedy the injustice this caused Ms X.

Charnwood Borough Council (25 027 652)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 08-Sep-2026

Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about the Council’s decisions regarding property Mrs X owns because she has used her right to appeal to the First Tier (Property Chamber) Tribunal. We will not investigate the remainder of Mrs X’s complaint because she has not formally complained to the Council about them.

Liverpool City Council (25 015 670)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 07-Sep-2026

Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to properly investigate his complaints about disrepair, harassment, and fire safety issues in his privately rented accommodation between May 2024 and October 2025. I ended this investigation because Mr X filed a claim with the Court about the same matter which puts the complaint outside of our jurisdiction.

London Borough of Islington (25 014 527)

Statement Upheld Private housing 06-Sep-2026

Summary: We found fault on Miss Y’s complaint about the Council failing to resolve the issue of using the correct form for her address. The Council agreed to send Miss Y an apology and review why it did not resolve the correct form of her address sooner and refer her earlier to the relevant team. It accepted a failing with its stage 2 complaint process, but I am not satisfied this caused her any outstanding injustice. There was no fault on her remaining complaints.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 01-Sep-2026
