Housing disrepair claims don’t have to be difficult. As a tenant in a rented home, you have rights. They boil down to this: If you are in a rented property that’s in disrepair, your landlord is required by law to ensure your home is free from defects. If you have already approached your landlord to resolve a repair issue and it’s been unaddressed, we can help.
Housing disrepair claims
It doesn’t make any difference if you are leasing from a private landlord, the local council or a social landlord. Whoever you rent from, your rights are the same. The housing disrepair claims process is there to help anyone who hasn’t been able to get home repair issues sorted via the usual means of approaching your landlord.
So, if you have notified your landlord of a disrepair to your property and they have ignored the request. Or if they have failed to carry out repairs, then you can get help. You can make a claim to allow you to get your issues resolved and to compensate you for the burden you’ve endured.
