Nuisances
Health Departments do not have programs to address the interior conditions such as mold, leaks, non-functioning appliances, bed bugs, roaches, etc. of residential properties (i.e. apartments, condos, houses, etc.).
Renter issues may use the following resources for assistance in dealing with Tenant/Landlord issues.
- Go to the Attorney General’s website to see what tenant’s rights are, and how to negotiate with landlords regarding issues.
- Contact the Legal Aid Society in Louisville at 502-584-1254. That office can assist both tenant and landlords with their issues in rural counties.
- Call Consumer Protection at Attorney General’s office at 1-888-432-9257 to file a complaint through the Attorney General’s office.
Complaints can only be accepted for the following topics:
-
Food safety
-
Public health nuisances occurring outdoors or inside public buildings
-
Mosquitoes in standing water
-
Sewage discharge
