    Hi @hammy, was it the council who have refused to clear up your garden for you or another landlord?

    You could try local Facebook groups to see if there's anyone who might be able to offer their services either low cost or free.

    You might also like to speak to Citizen's Advice, they can often put you in touch with any local groups that offer help with gardening.

    Hope you can get it sorted soon!

    @hammy firstly, welcome to Scope.

    Report the problem in writing to your local council’s Environmental Health team. They can inspect your property and, if necessary, serve notice on your landlord to address the rat infestation and any contributing disrepair.
