Advice for private tenants
We provide advice and information for tenants renting private accommodation. This includes advising on the minimum standards of accommodation they should expect from their landlord and how we can support both them and the landlord in achieving them.
Some private landlords deliberately put pressure on their tenants to get them to leave their home. As a private tenant you have legal rights which mean that you cannot be forced out of your home without your landlord first taking you to court.
Lambeth is committed to help improve living conditions for tenants in private sector housing, ensuring that properties are safe and secure.
We have a proactive inspection programme of houses in multiple occupation. If the safety inspection concludes that properties inspected are not up to standard, the landlord or owner is required to improve them.
