are lettings agencies answerable to anybody?
By
i have the neighbours from hell next door to me. 11 people in fact. private rented.. i’ve called the police numerous times, the landlord says it’s down to the lettings agent to deal with. called them and they hung up on me. the original tenants have left the property and gone back home yet the landlord says they have to take theselodgers to court and it could take months. so my question is.. is there an ombudsman or someone i can take this to. as they’re driving me insane.
thanx

In the United States, landlord-tenant disputes are primarily governed by state law (not federal law) regarding property and contracts. State law and, in some places, city law or county law, sets the requirements for eviction of a tenant. Generally, there are a limited number of reasons for which a landlord can evict his or her tenant before the expiration of the tenancy, though at the end of the lease term the rental relationship can generally be terminated without giving any reason. Some cities have laws establishing the maximum rent a landlord can charge, known as rent control, and related just cause eviction controls. There is also an implied warranty of habitability, whereby a landlord must maintain safe, decent and habitable housing, meeting minimum safety requirements such as smoke detectors and a locking door.
