A housing disrepair claim is a legal action taken by a tenant against their landlord due to the deterioration of the rented property, which suggests insufficient upkeep or maintenance. These claims commonly arise from landlord neglect in handling issues like dampness, leaks, structural flaws, heating failures, pest problems, or any other circumstances that undermine the property's livability or safety.
The main aim of a housing disrepair claim is to compel the landlord to meet their legal responsibilities in maintaining the property to a safe and livable standard, as outlined in the lease agreement and pertinent housing regulations.
Tenants seek solutions such as property repairs and reimbursement for inconveniences and damages suffered.

"Is your landlord disregarding the well-being of your family and property?
Do you want a home you can feel proud of?
Are you exhausted from living in an uninhabitable home?
Do you want to feel safe in your house?
If you're a Council or Housing Association tenant experiencing any of the ongoing disrepair issues mentioned earlier, and you've reported them to your landlord, you're likely eligible to pursue a disrepair claim for compensation.
No, not at all. Every housing disrepair claim we handle operates on a 'no win, no fee' basis. This means there's no need for any upfront payment from you.
We ensure that your landlord initiates repairs within weeks of our initial contact. While some cases may require more time, we guarantee no delays on our end. We're committed to taking all necessary steps to prompt your landlord into action.
Your compensation is determined by factors including the duration of the property's disrepair, the number of individuals impacted, the severity of the disrepair, any belongings damaged as a result, and whether the disrepair has led to any illness.
Yes, it's important to continue paying your rent in full. Failure to do so may result in your landlord making a counterclaim against you for breach of the tenancy agreement.
No, Council and Housing Association tenants are safeguarded by laws that prevent eviction due to initiating a housing disrepair compensation claim against their landlord.
No, unfortunately not. You must be currently living in the property.
You can substantiate your disrepair complaints with evidence such as text messages, emails, or call logs. Furthermore, your housing file may hold documented complaints, as landlords are mandated by law to maintain records of such communications.
According to Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act (1985), as amended by the Fitness for Human Habitation Act, both social (council or housing association) and private landlords are legally required to maintain the property in a good state of repair. You are entitled to inhabit your property without enduring disrepair-related issues. Rest assured, it is their legal obligation to prioritize your well-being and address any concerns promptly.
We exclusively handle cases involving Council or Housing Association tenants, although you retain the option to pursue claims against private landlords independently.
