We are aware of a third-party IT security incident that has impacted our case management system.

While we investigate this and get our systems back online, you will be unable to submit a new complaint, view an existing complaint, or use our web chat, webform, Learning Hub, or landlord portal.

If you need to raise a new complaint, please email info@housing-ombudsman.org.uk or call us on 0300 111 3000. We’re working to handle enquiries and cases where this is possible, notifying any customers and landlords where this is not possible

We’re working to restore our services as quickly as possible and will share updates when we can.

Thank you for your patience. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Landlord complaint statistics

What are landlord complaint statistics?

Every quarter we publish landlord statistics giving a snapshot of what we are seeing in complaints.

For a full year update on these figures, please see our Annual Complaints Review.

Please note that this data may be subject to change. The verified data that we publish on an annual basis in our Annual Complaints Review can be found online.

This page refers to Complaint Handling Failure Orders (CHFOs), which was our process at the time of publication. We now issue Complaint Handling Failure Notices (CHFNs) in these circumstances. View the latest information on how we bring landlords into compliance in casework.
