This letter will cite
Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 ss.11 & 9A (England & Wales); Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 Repairing Standard (Scotland); Private Tenancies (NI) Order 2006 arts.7, 17-18 (Northern Ireland).
Routes: the Housing Ombudsman (England, social landlords, after their complaints process), the council's Environmental Health team + County Court (England & Wales, private), the First-tier Tribunal (Scotland), or the council + County Court (Northern Ireland).
In England, social tenants can take a complaint to the Housing Ombudsman after the landlord's complaints process; private tenants use the council and the courts.
