The Housing Standards Team is responsible for the assessment and improvement of private sector accommodation in East Lindsey. Our objective is to make privately rented homes decent, safe and comfortable to live in.

Assessing a property

• Our enforcement officers conduct a survey of the property to establish its condition.
• If we find conditions that contribute to a significant hazard we will contact your landlord and provide them with a list of repairs that are required to remove the hazard. 
• Once repairs are completed we will re-inspect the property to ensure they are completed to the required standard.

We use the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) to make the assessment of potential risks to the health and safety of occupants and, we have a range of enforcement powers to ensure that standards are achieved.
