Broken Appliances in Rented Properties

Your Rights and How to Claim Compensation

As a tenant, you have the right to a safe and functional living environment. When essential appliances provided by your landlord—such as heating systems, ovens, or refrigerators—break down, it can significantly disrupt your daily life. If your landlord fails to repair these appliances within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to compensation.

Understanding Your Landlord’s Responsibilities

Landlords are legally obligated to ensure that the appliances they provide are in good working order.
This includes:

Heating Systems

Ensuring you have access to adequate heating and hot water.

Kitchen Appliances

Maintaining ovens, stoves, and refrigerators if supplied as part of the tenancy.

Electrical Wiring

Keeping all electrical installations safe and functional.

Failure to address these issues can lead to inconvenience, unsafe living conditions, and potential financial loss for tenants.

When Can You Claim Compensation?

You may be eligible to claim compensation if:

  • You’ve reported the broken appliance to your landlord.
  • The landlord has not carried out the necessary repairs within a reasonable time frame.
  • The disrepair has caused inconvenience, health issues, or damage to your belongings.

It’s important to continue paying your rent during this period, as withholding rent can affect your eligibility to claim.
