Carlisle sees its fair share of wet weather, which can worsen existing roof leaks, broken gutters and damp walls in rented homes.

What Are Your Rights as a Tenant in Carlisle?

Regardless of where you live in Carlisle, whether you rent from the council or a housing association, you are protected by the law in England and Wales. The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 states that your home must be:

If your Carlisle landlord fails to meet these standards, you can claim compensation.
