Housing
If you are working in Leicestershire for an agency, you may already have somewhere to live provided by that agency. There are rules which say how many people should live in certain types of property, to prevent overcrowding and fire hazards and to make sure that the property is a good enough standard so as not to affect your health. If you want to know whether your home meets these standards, or think it is not safe, contact the Environmental Health Section at your local District or Borough Council (Leicester City Council if you live in the city). They will give you free advice. Your landlord does not need to know that you have contacted them.
There are also rules which say how much money an employer may deduct from your wages to pay for housing, if they are providing it for you. The chapter on ‘Working in Leicestershire' will tell you more about this.
