Private rented sector

The private rented sector provides accommodation to around 21,000 households across Cheshire West. This number now equals the number of households renting a housing association or council home.

As a council, we are keen to ensure that private tenants have access to a safe, secure and good quality home. The colder months also see an increase in cases of damp and mould. To help all our residents we have produced advice on our damp and mould web page and have launched a “better renting campaign”.

The following links provide information, advice and support for landlords and letting agents; as well as tenants and prospective tenants.
