Having problems with your tenancy

Harassment and illegal eviction are criminal offences.

Call the police if your landlord or anyone else is threatening or using violence. This page will give you further advice on what to do.

If your Landlord lives in the same property you are likely to have ‘licence’ rather than a ‘tenancy’.

A resident landlord can usually ask you to leave simply by giving you reasonable notice. 

The Cornwall Council Private Sector Housing Team provide extensive advice on how to deal with repairs.
