Advice if you are a private tenant
We provide housing advice and help to tenants who rent privately, assist in regulating the sector and promote best practice by landlords.
- Tenants experiencing problems with their landlord, including a risk of homelessness, should contact the housing options team for advice
- Landlords' forums are held quarterly and a newsletter is published following each forum
- The environmental health service can provide advice
- We manage the landlord accreditation scheme in Richmondshire
- Our housing information booklet offers a wealth of information and contact numbers.
- We may be able to help financially, by paying a one-off bond payment under our bond bank scheme, to secure private accommodation and prevent homelessness. You can also view information on our choice-based lettings scheme.
