"...research backs this up. The less secure a tenancy is, the more likely the tenant is to avoid raising housing quality issues. Due to the inverse housing law, tenants who are in the least secure positions to complain about housing quality are also those most likely to live in properties that require urgent maintenance or don’t meet minimum standards."
