What is Housing Disrepair?

Housing disrepair comes in many forms. Landlords must ensure the following:

• Tenant’s homes are free from mould and damp.
• The property’s structure is not compromised or damaged.
• The heating system works, including water and radiators.
• Tenant’s have access to safe access to water and electricity.
• Tenant’s have access to  sanitation facilities such as a shower and a toilet.
• The property is free from pest infestation such as insects or vermin.
• The property is secure with working lockable entrances or exits.

If you are living in rented accommodation and your landlord fails to prevent or resolve disrepair in a reasonable amount of time, then you should seek independent legal advice.

The Housing Disrepair Claims Process

The process is unique to your individual circumstances. Every housing disrepair claim can be slightly different to at least some degree. However, the typical process will likely involve the following:

• You will contact us for a free initial consultation and if you would like to proceed, we will open a file for you.
• Your solicitor will instruct an expert consultant to assess your home and provide us with a report that will be used as evidence.
• We will also investigate any other damages you suffered. For example, injuries, damaged property or loss of earnings.
• We will write to your landlord and request that they resolve the matter within a certain period of time. Your landlord has the right to instruct their own expert to assess the property. If they do, both reports will be considered equally.
• If your landlord continues to refuse to fulfil their legal obligation to you, we may issue legal proceedings against them on your behalf.
• Regardless of the route we take, our team will get you the compensation that you are entitled to.
