Social housing tenants to be urged to complain about shoddy and dangerous housing as part of government drive to root out rogue landlords
Social housing tenants will be urged to complain about shoddy and dangerous housing in a major government advertising campaign.
Housing Secretary Michael Gove said the campaign, which will encourage tenants to voice complaints first to landlords and then to the Housing Ombudsman if necessary, will ‘shine a light’ on rogue landlords.
The focus on substandard housing follows the case of two-year-old Awaab Ishak

The Government has since put forward Awaab’s Law, which requires landlords to fix reported hazards in social housing, such as mould, in a ‘timely fashion’ or rehouse tenants in safe accommodation.
