Unsuitable accommodation
I have accommodation but it is not suitable for me on medical grounds
If your accommodation is having a negative impact on your health (either physical or mental), please speak to medical professionals or support services in the first instance to see whether there is any help available to adapt your property to enable you to continue to live there.

I have accommodation but my landlord is refusing to carry out repairs
Landlords have a duty to carry out appropriate repairs to properties and to make sure the property is in a reasonable and habitable condition. This includes private landlords, councils and housing associations. For more information, please visit: Landlord and tenant responsibilities for repairs - Shelter England
