If you're not happy with a service we've provided, the first thing you should do is contact a member of the team in the service.  We can often put the problem right without the need to follow the formal complaints procedure.

You can make a complaint about us as your landlord if you’re not satisfied with:

• The standard of service you’ve been given
• Actions we or those acting on our behalf have or have not taken

If you are contacting us about something else, for example, to request a repair, or report a neighbour nuisance, we will send it to the relevant team and we will not treat this as a complaint.

Any complaints about us not acting as a landlord will be considered under the corporate complaints policy, for example, Housing Allocations or Homelessness.  

How to complain

The quickest way to make a complaint is by using our online form. It’s important you let us know how the problem has affected you and how you’d like us to put things right.

Please provide us with a phone number in case we need to clarify the details of your complaint.
