Since April 2022, 153 complaints have been made to the Pendle Borough Council
A crackdown on landlords is taking place in Pendle after residents were left without hot water and in properties covered in mould.
The council says it is committed to improving standards in privately rented properties to ensure they are safe and habitable for tenants.Councillor Mike Goulthorp, Deputy Leader of Pendle Borough Council, said: “Pendle has some excellent landlords and letting agents but we have a vital role to play in tackling those who are irresponsible.
At the latest Policy and Resources Committee meeting on February 9, councillors agreed to a housing stock condition survey which will provide an up-to-date picture of the quality of housing in the borough. But 10 landlords failed to comply with the informal action which led to further steps being taken by the council to ensure the work was done.
