Document the problem
Photograph or video the disrepair in your property, ensuring you clearly show the damage.

Step 2
Report the issue to your landlord
You should be in contact with your local council or housing association in writing to report the issue.

Give your landlord reasonable time to assess and resolve the issue, cooperating with them where necessary.
