As a tenant, you should anticipate your landlord to handle any developing issues with rising damp. This is because tenancy agreements typically involve an assumed condition that obligates the landlord to stay up-to-date on interior and structural repairs of your residence.
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.
Too much moisture in your home can cause mould growth and dampness, which is why it’s important to be aware of the causes. Broken pipes or window frames that let rainwater inside are typical culprits for this issue. Furthermore, using water before a newly constructed house has been adequately dried out will likely create a moist environment – one that welcomes mould!

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.
As a tenant, it’s wise to check with your insurance provider to comprehend if your policy covers roof leakages. If not, you should think about submitting an appeal to the maker of the roof material or the contractor who set up for repairs and replacements. With this move, you won’t be held responsible for any losses that may occur due to these leaks!
But there are, of course, many more which could mean you’re entitled to compensation and thus allow you to make roof leak claims. Our Legal Expert can help you claim leaking pipe compensation no matter how the damage was caused. Call us to find out how you can claim housing disrepair compensation.
Although the rental agreement might imply differently, it is ultimately a landlord’s obligation to make sure that doors and windows are in proper condition. Council & Housing association landlords must provide repairs for an exterior of a rented property – including damages caused to entryways and windows.
By neglecting this responsibility, landlords risk the occurrence of serious issues including mould and safety hazards. To avoid such disasters, they must examine their property for signs of deterioration like worn sealants, broken door handles/locks, decaying window frames or hinges that are not functioning properly; all while ensuring external openings remain airtight when closed securely to prevent dampness from entering the premises.
According to Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, it is a legal obligation for landlords to provide all essential repairs on their leased properties – from common maintenance tasks up to any repair jobs that affect either the visual aspect or structure of your property.
As the landlord, it is your responsibility to cover any security risks in or around the property. Although you may be expected to do some light maintenance such as replacing bulbs, major repairs are not part of your agreement and should not fall on you financially.
