Err....depending where in the country you are.
In places, it is nearly impossible to find anywhere at all at any price, so the idea of starting a fight with the landlord would be out of the question. In theory, so called revenge evictions are supposed to be banned, but........1 -
I,m afraid that private rental is going to be more and more on the cards , as council tenants decide whether to spend the rent money they get from UC on rent..or put the money into food for their family .....many, many more people will be out in the streets due to being evicted through unpaid rent , therefore many people will be looking to rent privately . I hope you get the problems sorted out marlbeau.0

The housing element of UC is very similar to housing benefit BUT the housing element is more generous than housing benefit was, especially for non dependent deductions. There's just as many bad landlords out there as there are tenants, sorry just my thoughts.

Hi
@marlbeau
Sorry to hear you're having some housing issues. Hopefully I can point you in the right direction here.
The Citizens Advice have information on their website regarding housing issues. Please see the link below
https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/housing/repairs-in-rented-housing/asking-the-local-authority-for-help-with-repairs/local-authority-help-with-repairs-housing-health-and-safety-rating-system/
Please excuse the long link.
If this is helpful then it could be worth having a Google to see if there's a Citizens advice office in your area. On the website home page you can put your postcode in and it will bring up your local office. They also offer phone advice too as well as information online. The phone number is 0344-411-1444
Hope this helps.
