Your Rights as a Sanctuary Housing Tenant
Sanctuary Housing manages over 105,000 homes across England and Scotland, but their size doesn’t excuse poor maintenance.
The law is on your side. Under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 and Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Sanctuary Housing MUST ensure your home is safe and in good repair.
The Housing Ombudsman Service has identified property condition issues, including damp and mould, as the largest category of complaints against social housing providers like Sanctuary Housing.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, you have a legal right to take action:

– Water leaks from roofs, pipes or windows
