Lewisham Council: If it’s Broke, Fix it!

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE: If It’s Broke, Fix It!

Send us your photos of the things that need fixing in your home by filling in the form below!

Together we’re fighting for an end to unaccountable landlords and disrepair in Lewisham. Living in a broken house – with damp and mould, periods without hot water, dangerous construction issues, broken appliances – are all too familiar issues for our members. This is unacceptable. Join our campaign today!

We're living with severe damp in our home!

This home has black mould everywhere.

My landlord hasn't done repairs forever!

We’re bringing disrepair out into the open!

This map visualises the disrepair tenants are facing across the borough. This is not just a couple of rogue landlords. We are launching this campaign to raise awareness of disrepair in the borough, make visible how widespread the issue is, and highlight that this is a problem for all renters, which we need to take collective action to fix.

Too many renters are paying sky-high rents while living in homes that are in unacceptable, dangerous states of disrepair. What are landlords doing with our money?!

Landlords and estate agents are refusing to invest their profits in meeting their minimum legal obligations for safe homes. They get richer while the rest of us suffer.

Facing a winter with a broken boiler? Mould and damp? Leaks? Broken essential appliances?
