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
