Your Rights and How to Claim Compensation

An infestation of pests or vermin in your home can cause serious health risks, damage your belongings, and create an uncomfortable living environment. If you’re a tenant and your landlord has failed to take action to address pest or vermin issues after being notified, you may be entitled to compensation.

Understanding Your Landlord’s Responsibilities

Landlords are legally obligated to provide tenants with a safe and habitable home.
This includes taking reasonable steps to prevent and address infestations of pests or vermin, such as:

Preventative Measures

Ensuring the property is well-maintained, including sealing gaps, repairing structural damage, and keeping communal areas clean.

Addressing Infestations

Taking prompt action to deal with pest issues when reported, including hiring pest control professionals if necessary.

Maintaining Hygiene

Ensuring that conditions in the property do not encourage pests, such as leaking pipes or accumulations of waste

Failure to fulfill these responsibilities can result in health risks and financial losses for tenants.
