Has Leeds City Council ignored your repair complaint?
You're not the only one. If you reported a repair and Leeds City Council ignored it, the law is on your side.
Leeds City Council manages around 54,000 council homes, the largest LA stock in Yorkshire. The council's ALMO arrangement (Leeds Federated and Leeds Building Society partnerships) means repair responsibility can be opaque to tenants, but the legal landlord under your tenancy is still the council.
Second-largest council landlord in England. C2, no serious failings but opportunities to improve. They manage 54,000 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.
Leeds tenants often report being passed between the council, the ALMO and the contractor without anyone taking responsibility. Always direct your formal complaint to the council itself (as your landlord), they can't deflect the Awaab's Law obligation onto a third party.
