I rent from Notting Hill Genesis. What can I do about housing issues?
You have the same legal rights as any other social housing tenant in England. Under Awaab's Law (in force October 2025), Notting Hill Genesis must investigate a significant hazard such as serious damp or mould within 10 working days and complete the safety work within 5 working days of finishing that investigation. An emergency hazard must be investigated and made safe within 24 hours.
If they've ignored you, the route is: (1) formal complaint to Notting Hill Genesis, (2) escalate to stage 2. If they still do not fix it (or 8 weeks pass with no proper response), you may have a claim, call us free on 0800 030 4669.
Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) was formed in 2018 from the merger of Notting Hill Housing and Genesis Housing, and manages around 67,000 homes, mostly across London. It has faced significant public and regulatory scrutiny over disrepair complaints in recent years.
Three steps right now
- Report it in writing. Email or use Notting Hill Genesis's online portal. Phone alone doesn't create the paper trail you'll need later.
- Photograph everything, damp patches, broken fixtures, mould. Date-stamped if possible.
- Talk to us free if 21 days pass without action, we'll tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
