Council issues housing safety reminder
Published: 06/05/2020
TENANTS and landlords in Copeland are being reminded that homes should not be left in a state where they are unsafe and needing urgent repairs, despite the Covid-19 restrictions.
Tenants have a right to a decent, warm and safe place to live and it is the role of Copeland Borough Council to keep housing conditions under review and take appropriate action in the event that hazards exist within the home.
These duties and powers still exist during the Covid-19 lockdown, says the council, and are important to protect tenants from unsafe housing.
