Self-referred Jan 2023, removed from RSH watchlist Dec 2025 after £5m investment and improvement plan. They manage 16,000 homes across England. When a landlord this size ignores you, the law is on your side, but only if you act. Under Awaab's Law and Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, you can claim compensation and force the repair.
Haringey's older Tottenham and Wood Green estates have a documented backlog of structural repairs. If you've been told a survey is needed before any work can proceed and the survey has been outstanding more than 10 working days, the council is already in breach of Awaab's Law's investigation deadline. If Haringey Council has ignored you, here's how to claim.
