London Borough of Havering (25 020 287)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Commercial and contracts 04-Feb-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about whether the Council was in breach of its tenancy agreement as court action is more appropriate to address his concerns. We will not investigate his complaint about the Council’s lack of response to the concerns he raised about the operation of its private sector leasing scheme because his complaint is late and there are no good reasons to decide to investigate now. Even if we investigated, we could not achieve a worthwhile outcome.
