Our housing disrepair solicitors are sensitive to the physical, emotional, and financial difficulties that renting poor housing can cause for renters.
If you or someone in your household has health problems, property damage, or other inconveniences as a result of disrepair issues at home, you are legally entitled to compensation. Similarly, if the situation leaves part or all of your house uninhabitable and requires alternative living arrangements such as renting another place for shelter, then reimbursement is also due.

Indeed, Landlords typically have the responsibility of resolving rising damp issues. This is because there is a tacit agreement between you and your landlord that requires them to keep in good repair the structure and exterior of your home.
If your home has caused you distress and financial hardship due to issues such as damp, mildew, faulty electricity or structural damage, then you may have the right to claim compensation from your landlord. In some cases, it might even be possible for you to recoup rent payments made prior to repairs being done! A housing disrepair case can cover a variety of problems in residential properties – so don’t miss out on this chance of getting what’s rightfully yours!
Taking swift action is always the wisest move when initiating a housing disrepair claim since it simplifies gathering evidence and ascertaining fault. Additionally, there may be legal deadlines that you should pay attention to; for example, if your case involves personal injury claims then these must be addressed in due course. If you believe any sickness or medical issues have been caused by mould present at home, consult with a lawyer promptly regarding seeking compensation.
Have you noticed the presence of mould and dampness in your home? Excess moisture is often the primary culprit for such detrimental conditions, which may be due to multiple sources including leaking pipes, damaged roofs/windows allowing water entry or even recently constructed homes that lack adequate drying time. Knowing what’s causing these circumstances will allow for rapid identification and resolution of the issue.

By law, your landlord must provide you with a reliable source of hot water or heat at all moments. As a tenant, you are entitled to access central heating or space-heating devices in each room of your residence and boiling water when necessary. You deserve peace of mind knowing that these vital amenities will always be available to keep you safe and comfortable in your home!
As a tenant, you have the right to expect your landlord to responsibly maintain all hot water and heating systems as well as appliances within your rental property. It is absolutely essential for these devices to be in perfect working condition; if any issues arise with the heaters or other related equipment, then it’s on them to swiftly repair and bear maintenance costs.
If your roof or ceiling endures damage due to a covered risk, then you can rest assured that your home owners insurance will cover the related destruction. Generally speaking, open perils policies provide coverage for any risks not explicitly excluded from the policy.
It is the landlord’s responsibility to make sure that the property they have rented out meets all safety requirements and is suitable for human occupancy. If any water damage has occurred due to a leak, it is also their duty to repair said damage promptly.
In the majority of cases, your landlord cannot terminate your tenancy until their responsibility to address an issue is completed. Yet if they have failed to deal with a problem that renders living in the house undesirable for you and your family, then it may be necessary to leave earlier than initially arranged. Even though this property can provide acceptable shelter for people, these conditions would give you reasonable cause for taking action.
Despite the fact that rental agreements may indicate tenants are liable for repairs, Council & Housing association landlords have a responsibility to pay and oversee exterior repair costs; including broken windows or doors. When these elements become damaged it can not only bring about problems such as mould and damp but also be an issue in terms of safety.
Landlords should guarantee that all external windows and doors can properly close for robust security, plus are free of dampness or draught. Additionally, any deteriorated sealants, shattered door handles or locks, defective window frames, impaired hinges or broken glass must be remedied right away to maintain safety standards.
Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (Section 11), landlords are mandated to take on most of the external and structural repairs required for their leased property, regardless of how they may affect its structure or appearance. This obligation is uniform across all sorts of necessary improvements.
As a renter, it is the landlord’s responsibility to guarantee that both your rental property and its vicinity are secure. Your tenancy agreement may consist of basic tasks such as replacing light bulbs; however, structural repair costs should not be on you. All expenses regarding these matters will be taken care of by your landlord.
