In some cases, it might even be possible for you to recoup rent payments made prior to repairs being done!

English law mandates that your landlord supplies you with a steady supply of heat and hot water at all times. As such, tenants have the right to access central heating systems or space heating devices in each area of their rental home. Moreover, the reliable availability of boiling hot water is also critical and should be made available as well.
It is the responsibility of your landlord to keep a comfortable living space, which includes ensuring that heating systems and hot water services are running effectively. If they provide electric heaters, then those must be working correctly as well. Should you encounter any issues with your heating system or hot water heater, it is up to the landlord to resolve them – their commitment entails repairs and covering associated 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.
Even when the tenancy agreement states that it is the responsibility of a tenant to take care of repairs, Council and Housing Association landlords are still accountable for exterior repair work on rental properties, such as damage to doors and windows.
Landlords, it is important to closely inspect your property regularly to ensure that external windows and doors close securely, are sealed properly against the elements, and draught proofed. Any inadequate maintenance of entrances or exits can lead to a variety of problems such as mould growth in addition to making safety an issue – so if you notice broken locks or door handles, degraded sealants around window frames, faulty hinges, or shattered glass shards – make sure you act promptly by having them fixed!
As mandated by Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, landlords are lawfully obliged to attend to any essential exterior or structural repairs needed for their leased property. This subsection encompasses all mandatory renovations – from maintenance that preserve its foundation to those which enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Landlords must not only be conscious of any safety hazards in or around their property, but they also have a responsibility to cover all costs associated with repairs. Although you as the tenant may need to handle minor maintenance matters like changing lightbulbs according to your lease agreement, landlords are responsible for major structural renovations that arise during your tenancy.
