Housing Association tenants should contact their landlord first, as all repairs and some improvements are the responsibility of the landlord. If you require larger adaptations, permission from the landlord will be needed.
Cumberland Council seeks to work constructively with Housing Associations to support tenants who need adapted housing. We seek to work together to:
- fund and deliver adaptations to existing homes
- support residents to find suitably adapted housing they can move to
- improve the availability of new homes suitable for people with disabilities in Cumberland
Housing Associations are required to provide effective services to disabled tenants and family members, by the Regulator of Social Housing.
