My flat was repaired in time for my child’s birth and I received rent refunds and compensation. The team were very helpful and understanding of my dangerous situation.
According to law, the landlord is responsible for keeping the property in pristine condition. A house that is run-down means it has gotten worse since the tenant moved in – meaning, it has rapidly deteriorated.
Claims for housing disrepair may cover the cost of repairs, inconvenience caused by the landlord’s absence of repair, as well as any disruption caused by the work, and any personal injury consequences such as asthma that result from issues like damp or mold.
We help our clients with disrepair complaints. Our team specifically helps those who are living in Council or Housing association properties and target issues that result in stressful, unhealthy, or difficult living conditions.
If a landlord doesn’t take care of their property, it will become uninhabitable. This is called housing disrepair, and it often causes safety problems for tenants.
When an apartment becomes unliveable due to uncleanliness, for example, if there is physical damage to the outside or inside, infestation, plumbing problems, mould concerns, or anything else that would prevent you from living comfortably in the leased property has deteriorated.
If you believe your landlord is liable for negligence and there are issues with your home that have not been fixed after you requested repair, our Housing Disrepair Solicitors may be able to help you get compensated.

Informing your landlord of any problems with the condition of your apartment as soon as possible is crucial. If repairs have not been made after you’ve informed them, you can take action against the landlord.
By sending us documentation of the issues you’ve been having, we will send a formal complaint to your landlord outlining the necessary repairs. We will also notify your landlord that they should reimburse you for any trouble or discomfort they have caused.
You can request a court order to your landlord to make the required repairs if you file a housing disrepair claim. You may be compensated for a variety of reasons, including:
Damage to belongings – You have the right to demand compensation for any items that have been damaged or destroyed as a result of the property’s poor condition. You can also claim for property damage incurred during maintenance work conducted by your landlord.
Financial loss – You can claim for financial compensation as a result of housing disrepair issues, such as your landlord failing to make repairs, if you have suffered financial loss. Note if you are in rent arrears this will impact your outcome.
Personal injury – If you’ve been injured because of your landlord’s carelessness, you might be able to make a personal injury claim. Various types of claims come from disrepair, like respiratory diseases, injuries from hazards like tripping or falling, and carbon monoxide poisoning. We can help by providing medical reports and expert witnesses for court proceedings.
Inconvenience – You should be reimbursed for any costs associated with a widespread outage, such as the inconvenience of having your house off limits, or the time it takes to get it operational again.
Deterioration around the house can occur for many reasons, such as…
-Damp walls
-Mildew smells
-Leaking (both inside and out)
-Flooding
It is always the landlord’s responsibility to fix housing disrepair, whether you are a social tenant in either a housing association or council-owned property, or a private tenant with a private landlord.
No one should be coerced into living in hazardous or unhealthy living conditions. The new Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation Act) legislation, which went into effect this past July, requires landlords to ensure that their properties are safe and sanitary for human habitation, and tenants can take legal action if they do not.
Your landlord cannot kick you out of your Housing Association or Council House tenancy to begin a lawsuit against them. If you are in arrears and have no payment plan in place, the sole exception is if you were evicted for failure to pay rent. Even a £1-a-month financing program would suffice protection if this is the situation.
If you’re a private renter and your landlord gives you a Section 21 eviction notice, he or she can throw you out without providing an explanation. Although there are efforts to stop this practice, landlords are still permitted by law in specific circumstances to evict tenants. Even if they do manage to eject you, we can help you if your landlord follows through with it.

It’s typically preferable to file a housing disrepair claim as soon as feasible, although there is no set deadline. The sooner you submit a claim, the easier it will be to acquire evidence and demonstrate liability. There may also be legal time constraints associated with your case, such as if you are seeking compensation for personal damages.
If you think mould is making you sick, speak to a lawyer about getting compensated.
According to English law, your landlord is required to provide you with a dependable source of heating or hot water at all times. As a tenant, you are entitled to a central heating system or space-heating equipment in each room of the house that you rent. A functioning boiler for heating water should also be available on the rented property.
Landlords are obligated to take care of any hot water or heating systems, as well as appliances they’ve supplied, like electric heaters. Plus, they must keep these systems in good condition. If you have difficulties with your heating or hot water at any point, your landlord is required to pay for the repairs and maintenance needed to fix the issue.
If you live in social housing, you are legally entitled to a home that meets certain standards. We can help make sure your home is up to standard and get you compensated for any losses or problems caused by poor housing conditions.
If you have a problem with your housing association, it’s critical that you act right away. You might begin by submitting a complaint to the organization. A housing association must ensure that the homes it provides are in good working order and that any concerns are immediately addressed. Otherwise, it may be held accountable and liable for compensation as a result of its actions or inaction.
our housing disrepair professionals understand the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that renting substandard housing can create for tenants.
