Where can i get a book on housing laws?

Question

I need a book on council tenants rights. Or a link to a website that has good info. Dont think im getting a fair deal, Have had numerous arguments with neighbours, Housing officer is unhelpful and quite rude and i am getting the blame for faulty pipework (which the council installed) that keeps leaking. Have only been living here 2 years, HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

The charity Shelter has a Web site on that: http://england.shelter.org.uk/advice/advice-3136.cfm

And a general site: http://www.communities.gov.uk/index.asp?id=1152110

Here's a page sponsored by Oxford council: http://tenantshandbook.oxford.gov.uk/oxfordtenancy/tenantsrights.htm

You don't say whether you bought your council flat or not. If you did, you may have been suckered in. Some tenants who did that were driven into bankruptcy by assessments.

Answer 2

When u rent, u dont have many rights except for to keep the house and yard neat.
Call a plumber and then send the bill to the landlord.
Dont be blamed for faulty repairs, all houses get them eventually.
Leaks can be fixed easy by screwin the pipe tighter or make sure a hole is not in the pipe.
