When I moved in, there was rubbish in the garden which my landlord said he would move. Can Birmingham City Council force the landlord to move the rubbish?
No we can’t. This matter is an agreement between you and your landlord. We would advise you to ask him or her to honour that agreement and to put that request in writing, giving them a reasonable time to do the work (normally at least 21 days). If the rubbish is not removed you will need to seek independent advice from a solicitor.
