Your Rights and How to Claim Compensation

Damp and mould in your home can lead to serious health risks, property damage, and discomfort. If you’re a tenant and your landlord has failed to address issues of damp and mould after being notified, you may be entitled to compensation.

Understanding Your Landlord’s Responsibilities

Landlords are legally obligated to ensure that the property they rent out is free from damp and mould that could harm tenants’ health or damage their belongings.
This includes:

Fixing Structural Issues

Addressing leaks in the roof, walls, or plumbing that cause damp.

Proper Ventilation

Ensuring windows, extractor fans, and ventilation systems are functional.

Maintaining Heating Systems

Providing adequate heating to prevent the build-up of condensation.

Failure to address these responsibilities can lead to serious health concerns, such as respiratory issues, and potential financial losses for tenants.

Can You Claim Compensation?

You may be eligible to claim compensation if:

  • You’ve reported the presence of damp and mould to your landlord.
  • The landlord has not resolved the issue within a reasonable time frame.
  • The issue has caused health problems, damage to your belongings, or impacted your quality of life.
