What to do if your stage 2 complaint response is more than 1 year old

Stage 2 complaint response is more than 1 year old

The Housing Ombudsman cannot consider every complaint referred to the service.

If it has been 12 months or more since your landlord issued its stage 2 (final) response to your complaint, we will not be able to consider it for investigation. 

We can only consider a complaint about an issue that has been through both stages of a landlord’s complaints process. If the issues raised in the complaint were previously resolved but have now reoccurred since the stage 2 response, you can make a new complaint to your landlord.
