Tell us about a problem with your home as a tenant
If something in your home is damaged or not working, you can report a problem and ask us to come and repair it.
We can help you to repair things in your home or in communal areas. Communal areas include things like stairs and landings, door entry systems, or lighting, drains, doors and windows in shared spaces.
There are some things we can't help you to repair. Find out what we can and can't help you to repair before you report a problem to us.
Tell us about a problem
You can tell us about a problem in two ways: online or over the phone.
If your problem is not urgent, the easiest way to ask for a repair is by reporting your problem online.
If your problem is urgent, please call us so that we can help you as quickly as possible. Urgent problems are things like a leak that won't stop, or a total loss of electricity.
